A series of flight tests targeting airframe noise reduction was planned and executed under the NASA Flight Demonstrations and Capabilities project. The objectives of the tests were two-fold: to evaluate the aeroacoustic performance of several noise reduction technologies in a relevant environment and to generate a comprehensive database for advancing the state of the art in simulation-based airframe noise prediction methodologies. These technologies – an Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge flap, main landing gear fairings, and gear cavity treatments – were integrated on a NASA Gulfstream G-III aircraft to determine their effectiveness, both on a component-level (individually) and a system-level (combined) basis. With the aircraft flying an approach pattern and the engines set at ground idle, extensive acoustic measurements were acquired using a phased microphone array system. Detailed analyses of the gathered acoustic data clearly demonstrate that significant noise reduction was achieved for the flap and main landing gear components.
