CHEVRON NOZZLE
( To Reduce Jet Noise )
ABSTRACT
Aircraft noise remains a significant concern for airports, nearby communities, and aircraft
passengers. As the large volume of air traffic continues to increase, and jet engine technology
continues to advance, the aeronautics industry is challenged with reducing the noise levels
generated by modern jets. Starting in the 1960s, significant attention was directed toward noisereduction technologies for use on jet engines. This is because jet noise has played a significant
role in the history of aviation. The commercial airline industry has remained invested in the
advancement of payload capacity for decades, and the industry is frequently moving toward
greater means of propulsion. This requires constant technical investigation of means for
increasing power and efficiency of existing turbojet and turbofan engines while significantly
reducing engine acoustic levels. Engine noise has become a serious concern for many airports
and surrounding communities. In order to reduce the noise associated with jet flow, the aerospace
industry has focused on developing various technologies to disrupt shear layer turbulence and
reduce the overall noise produced. Through decades of innovative research, the chevron nozzle
has emerged to achieve exactly in reducing Jet Noise
