Accurate and reliable prediction of noise emitted from turbofan aircraft engines is an ongoing challenge. For continued progress, it is necessary to assess the performance of the most recent prediction methods in the NASA Aircraft NOise Prediction Program (ANOPP), and to examine the effects of flight condition on fan noise. The assessment is based on an extensive acoustic dataset acquired as part of the Propulsion Airframe Aeroacoustics and Aircraft System Noise (PAA&ASN) Flight Test conducted on a Boeing 787-10 aircraft. Engine operating condition was varied to study the characteristics of fan noise in flight. In a subset of the flight test matrix, the influence of the aft duct acoustic liner was studied by covering the lined area with aluminum tape to simulate a hardwall duct. The combination of test data at different flight conditions, along with rigorous predictions of jet noise, is used in this paper to extract fan noise from the measured total aircraft noise levels. The measured fan noise levels are compared with those predicted using the latest methods for fan source noise, liner attenuation, and PAA effect prediction. Detailed analyses are undertaken to understand agreement between data and various aspects of the prediction models, including spectral shape, directivity, and response to throttle setting. An additional investigation was undertaken to study the effect of aircraft speed on fan noise, as current models do not directly account for this parameter.
