U of Illinois Aerospace Department to Help Develop Supersonic Technology The University of Illinois Aerospace Engineering Department will help Rolls-Royce Deutschland and Gulfstream Aerospace conduct research on reducing the noise of a supersonic business jet flying over land. Current FAA regulations prohibit supersonic flight over land primarily because of the noise such flights have produced up to now. The Illinois researchers will focus how on the engine's intake and exhaust systems which can be designed to help reduce the aircraft's sonic boom and increase its propulsive efficiency. Specifically, their research will examine the engine's inlet, the by-pass air that travels around the outside of the engine's core, and the acoustics of the exhaust system. 12-19-2007. |
