Abstract

The aeroacoustics of an innovative regional turboprop aircraft is experimentally investigated on a 6.5 scaled model. The measurement campaign was performed at the RUAG Large Subsonic Wind Tunnel in Emmen. The model was mounted on a ceiling strut in the 7-by-5 meters test section, not acoustically treated. The aeroacoustic noise generated by the aircraft model was evaluated analyzing the pressure fluctuations acquired through a phased array of 144 microphones installed on a flat-plate on the test section floor. Pressure fluctuations were acquired in different configurations the most important ones being: the baseline solution (no innovative device applied) with engine on and the model equipped with lined Flap. For the engine on configuration, take-off and approach settings were tested, whereas only the landing configurations was investigated for the baseline lined flap comparison. The main parameters varied during the tests were: the propeller thrust, the propeller revolutions per minute, the speed of the air-flow, the incidence angle of the aircraft and the position of the microphone array. Data were processed and then analyzed in the frequency domain and using a conventional beamforming algorithm to retrieve the sound source map over the areas of interest. Source maps were deconvolved with a CLEAN-SC routine and single source contributions determined through integration of auto-powers.
