LATEST MATERIAL CHANGE
What changed?
Research teams at NASA's Glenn Research Center are developing software to predict the noise from aircraft engines. The software, including JeNo, MGBK, V072, TFaNS, Linflux, BFANS, RSI, WOBBLE, MPT, and ADPAC, helps engineers design and analyze new and improved aircraft propulsion systems. These codes can be requested from NASA's Software Catalog and are used for various purposes, such as predicting jet noise, analyzing noise reduction benefits, and studying rotor/stator interaction tone noise.
Why it matters
These software developments are crucial for reducing aircraft noise, which affects both the environment and human health. By accurately predicting and analyzing noise, engineers can design quieter aircraft, improving overall efficiency and reducing the impact on communities near airports.
