In the present comparative study of aircraft interior noise levels due to airborne and structureborne paths for a given propeller source, a structure model is used that treats the fuselage interior as a rectangular cavity with five rigid walls; the sixth, or fuselage sidewall, is a stiffened panel. The wing is modeled as a simple beam carried into the fuselage by a large, discrete stiffener representing the carry-through structure. Comparisons are made on the basis of interior noise over a range of propeller rotational frequencies at a fixed thrust. It is found that the relative importance of the structural and airborne paths is highly dependent on the structural parameters.
