Title: NOISE FROM ENGINE THRUST REVERSAL OF LANDING AIRCRAFT
Abstract: Some measurements have been made of aircraft noise, with particular reference to the levels of engine thrust reversal noise of different aircraft types, at and near to London airport - Gatwick. The object was to determine the contribution of reverse thrust noise to the total noise exposure at points on the ground. The results show that generally this contribution is small in relation to that of the principal sources of noise, aircraft taking off and climbing out. However it was found that the noise levels of reverse thrust are sufficient to cause disturbance at times when aircraft landings are the only air traffic movements taking place and the background noise is otherwise low.(a)
