Validation of improved turbomachinery noise prediction models and development of novel design methods for fan stages with reduced broadband noise (TurboNoiseBB)
Research Project, 2016 – 2020

The TurboNoiseBB project develops concepts and technologies to reduce aeroengine noise, such as fan broadband noise (BBN), at source. The project will enable a major technical leap based on an improved understanding of the broadband noise source mechanisms and validated broadband noise prediction methods.

In particular, TurboNoiseBB will contribute to major improvements in the noise emission of turbofan engines entering into service after 2025. The project will deliver validated generation three noise reduction concepts and associated tradeoff parameters to pave the way for the demonstration.
