Recent noise technology advancements have provided an increased understanding of true engine noise “floor” levels. This has led to changes in necessary engine cycle requirements for low-noise commercial airplanes. Updated prediction techniques for the core and jet noise sources are described, and lining technology improvements are reviewed. The need for further work in the core noise area is emphasized. The impact of these noise technology revisions on the best engine cycle for obtaining low noise is presented. It is concluded that engines with lower bypass ratios than previously anticipated may be acceptable.
