Progress in quieting the commercial aviation fleet has been achieved by reducing the noise generated by jet engines. Recent tests have indicated that noise produced by airflow over aircraft surfaces (lifting surfaces, landing gear, flaps, and cavities) is only 8 to 10 EPNdB below certification requirements for current aircraft and will likely be a design consideration for aircraft of the future as engines become still quieter. This paper reviews the state of the art for understanding, predicting, and control of airframe noise. Levels and spectral content of the noise, correlation with important variables, and noise generation mechansims are discussed. The noise floors for future aircraft, the direction of research projects, and likely impact of this new technology on aircraft design are indicated.
