Summary

Sources of noise in aircraft are discussed briefly with particular reference to the introduction of the turbo-jet engine.

An account is given of a particular investigation made in a Lancastrian aircraft fitted with both turbo-jet and reciprocating engines. The equipment by which the noise spectrum was analysed over, an extended frequency band is described.

The results are examined and the effects of the two types of engine on the noise spectrum are compared, under different representative conditions, in the forward and rear sections of the fuselage.
