Noise Reduction Technologies Geared turbofan engine � Approximate 20% in noise � Engine developed twice as powerful as anything presently built, 10% reduction in noise used � Compared to Boeing 777 -200 ER with GE 90 -90 B engines, this is a 9 d. B decrease � Chevron nozzle � Reduces noise up to 2. 5 d. B � Due to engine size, reduction assumed to be 1 d. B � Scarf Inlet � No concrete data could be found, noise reduction assumed to be 1 d. B � Landing Gear Fairings � Reduce noise by 2 d. B � 51
Boeing 777 -200 LR Noise Data http: //adg. stanford. edu/aa 241/noise. html 52
Conclusion on Noise For Stage 4 standards, noise generated must be less than 90 d. B in any given test. � To meet N+2 requirements, the cumulative margin between the noise generated and 90 d. B must be at least 42 d. B. � Estimates give a 9 d. B deficit from Stage 4, with a cumulative noise reduction of 27 d. B. Goal is NOT met. � Plenty of noise reduction technology is in development, but none would be ready by 2025. � 53
