Towards a silent aircraft

Although aircraft noise has reduced considerably since the introduction of high speed jet transport, the further improvement of existing technologies represents a significant challenge. In this lecture, Professor Dame Ann Dowling will discuss what generates noise on modern civil aircraft, the ways in which technologies may be integrated to reduce noise, and the benefits of a long-term radical rethink of aircraft configuration.
