Title: High-performance aircraft short-takeoff and vertical-landing noise measurements on an aircraft carrier
Abstract: The noise levels caused by high-performance aircraft are relatively high in the close proximity experienced by crew on board aircraft carriers, which can interfere with communications and may pose a risk for hearing loss. This paper reports on preliminary results of noise measurements of the operations of F-35B aircraft performing short-takeoff and vertical-landing (STOVL) operations on the flight deck of an LHA aircraft carrier. This noise measurement campaign was performed in late 2016, by scientists from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) in collaboration with the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and the F-35 Integrated Task Force (ITF). The measurements were taken using hand-held noise recorder systems, and the recording engineers shadowed actual locations of crew. These data will be used to validate STOVL models of crew noise exposures on deck. [Work supported by F-35 JPO.]
