Noise is defined as ‘unwanted sound’ or ‘undesired sound’. Recently, the aviation industry has been rapidly developing through convergence with cutting-edge technologies such as UAM. Accordingly, it is expected that new aviation industry models will continue to be created in Korea. In addition, it is expected that aircraft noise will be raised as a new social problem. The characteristic of aircraft noise is that it has a wide transmission range. Therefore, the area affected by aircraft noise is extensive, and the damage area varies depending on the flight path and flight environment. Additionally, it tends to occur continuously in certain areas. This study is an extension of the previous studies Study on noise measurement and analysis of C172 aircraft at Muan Airport and Study on noise measurement and analysis of SR20, and investigated the noise characteristics of various piston engine trainer aircraft operated in Korea. We want to measure and analyze noise.
In the past, aviation technology developed from wood to alloys to composite materials. Propellers have also evolved from wood to composite materials for modern small aircraft. In this context, research is needed on a three-blade composite propeller based on the Rotax 912 engine, which is widely used in Korea. In this study, the goal is to select the optimal propeller pitch angle by investigating noise changes according to changes in blade angle and engine 4000RPM of three types of three-blade propellers different from each propeller manufacturer. By comparing the noise of the three types of propellers most commonly used in Korea and suggesting the minimum noise blade angle for each propeller, we aim to help aircraft operators select propellers and resolve noise complaints around airfields.
Most domestic pilots are trained at local airfields using propeller aircraft. Training aircraft are mainly trained in the airspace around the aerodrome, and mainly take-off and landing exercises that require a lot of practice among flight control skills. Aircraft noise is a sound that humans do not want. In this study, based on the Rotax 914 engine used in Korea, the propeller blade angle was changed by 1 degree for the 3-leaf “K company” propeller and the 3-leaf GSC wooden propeller, and the engine RPM was changed to examine the noise and thrust changes. The purpose of this study is to check whether noise and thrust loss are the least at the engine's maximum RPM, and to propose an aircraft operation plan in the noisy aerodrome area based on the values.
Noise is a sound that humans do not want. In this study, Based on the Rotax 912 engine, which is most commonly used in Korea, we will look at noise and thrust changes by changing the propeller blade angle by 1 degree for the two-blade Sensenich Propeller and the three-blade Wrap drive Propeller. Through this, we want to check which part of the propeller angle produces the least noise and the least thrust loss for each propeller, and propose a propeller operation plan in a noisy area based on the value.
