Extract

The title of this paper could cover a number of interesting problems ranging from the ultrasonic scream from compressors and its (alleged) effect in producing “jet sickness,” to the noise from supersonic propellers but, since it is “in particular Jet Noise” which is under discussion, this paper deals entirely with that subject. Some new facts are presented, mostly obtained at my own firm, with the active encouragement of the Ministry of Supply, and some of their implications are discussed.

Note on page 223 * It will be noted that the measured figures differ slightly from those quoted in Fig. 1. This type of discrepancy will occur throughout this paper, wherever the actual values do not affect the argument, as it cannot always be avoided when tests have to be made piecemeal on different types of engine as they become available.
