Measurements which are required to define the directivity and the level of propeller noise were studied. The noise radiation pattern for various single-rotation (SR) propeller and counter-rotation (CR) propeller installations were mapped. The measurements covered + or - 60 deg from the propeller disk plane and + or - 60 deg in the cross-stream direction. Configurations examined included SR and CR propellers at angle of attack and an SR pusher installation. The increases in noise that arise from an unsteady loading operation such as an SR pusher or a CR exceeded 15 dB in the forward axial direction. Most of the additional noise radiates in the axial directions for unsteady loading operations of both the SR pusher and the CR tractor.
