reconnaissance aircraft need aircraft could approach target area very low detectability exactly factor need aim model aircraft need document has some bearing paths take obtain acceptability based sound levels generated aircraft study also based engines range giant models among fastestgrowing segments sport study makes following observation design quiet aircraft aural detectability standpoint requires consideration given important aspects source aircraft path atmosphere ground attenuation receiver ground observer purpose reduce aural detectability two types 5 HP engines considered application method accomplishing need reduce intensity radiation pattern noise generated engines exactly same things need consider working aircraft Some basic facts considered First relation between sound pressure sound power level mean square acoustic pressure given location sound source proportional acoustic power emitted source mean square pressure varies inversely square distance source important explanation later second factor directivity common sound sources radiate sound direction another sound pressure front speakers mouth high-frequency sound typically ten times intense opposite

incorrectly Bits pieces can presented long stand alone contribution total often another matter generation transmission sound energy complex matter fact often complexities have relatively little total effect say important small factors ended up summed being quite relative total effect study initiated some years ago concerned possibilities providing military very quiet remotely piloted strike reconnaissance aircraft need aircraft could approach target area very low detectability exactly factor need aim model aircraft need document has some bearing paths take obtain acceptability based sound levels generated aircraft study also based engines range giant models among fastestgrowing segments sport study makes following observation design quiet aircraft aural detectability standpoint requires consideration given important aspects source aircraft path atmosphere ground attenuation receiver ground observer purpose reduce aural detectability two types 5 HP engines considered application method accomplishing need reduce intensity radiation pattern noise generated engines exactly same things need consider working aircraft Some basic facts considered First relation between sound pressure sound power level mean square acoustic pressure given location sound source proportional acoustic power emitted source mean square pressure varies inversely square distance source important explanation later second factor directivity common sound sources radiate sound direction another sound pressure front speakers mouth high-frequency sound typically ten times intense opposite direction Lowfrequency sound uniformly radiated directions directivity factor term commonly employed describe directional source AIRCRAFT AND DETECTION Several factors determine aural detectability noise generated aircraft 1 intensity radiation pattem noise generated aircraft 2 spectrum real-time character generated noise 3 distance separating source receiver 4 atmospheric absorption 5 refraction scattering effects due atmospheric wind velocity temperature gradients turbulence 6 attenuation due terrain absorption 7 background noise present receivers environment 8 sensitivity

sound levels generated aircraft study also based engines range giant models among fastestgrowing segments sport study makes following observation design quiet aircraft aural detectability standpoint requires consideration given important aspects source aircraft path atmosphere ground attenuation receiver ground observer purpose reduce aural detectability two types 5 HP engines considered application method accomplishing need reduce intensity radiation pattern noise generated engines exactly same things need consider working aircraft Some basic facts considered First relation between
