Rotorcraft Noise Model (RNM), Version 7

About this technology

Overview

The RNM simulation model calculates community noise, computing time histories of noise for arbitrary vehicle flight operations. The technology accommodates multiple noise sources (e.g., rotors and engines), each represented by a sphere of spectral data at a reference distance. Propagation to the ground accounts for spherical spreading, atmospheric absorption, ground impedance effects, and limited weather effects.
