The influence of forward flight on the noise generation from convergent-divergent (C-D) nozzle flows was determined experimentally. The experiments were performed in an anechoic chamber using a 2.03 cm diameter C-D nozzle with a design Mach number of 1.4 in a 25 cm diameter free jet flow. Far-field noise measurements and spectral analyses were carried out and visualization of the jet shock structure was made by a spark shadowgraph technique. Jet noise from supersonic C-D nozzle flows under forward flight was found to depend critically on the flight velocity and nozzle pressure ratio. Noise reduction up to 20 dB was observed in the rearward quadrant under flight; excess noise in the forward quadrant under flight resulted from relatively high frequency noise sources in the jet flow field. Screech tones, observed from overexpanded C-D nozzle flows, were suppressed during the simulated flight flow.
