Available propulsion-system noise data have been applied to the problems of design and operation of V/STOL aircraft. In particular, considerations have been given to minimizing adverse community reaction for operations between airports and to minimizing detection due to noise for special missions. For minimizing adverse community reaction, configurations incorporating low-blade-loading rotors, low-tip-speed propellers, or turbofan-type engines are judged to be most satisfactory. For minimizing detection, consideration must be given to minimizing the noise of the generating airplane, having maximum background noise in the vicinity of the observer, and operating the aircraft at minimum altitude.
