Project description
BUZZKATZ investigates technologies and methods to further reduce aircraft noise from installed aero engines, with the aim of increasing the public acceptance of the next generation of climate-friendly aircraft through further noise reduction.
In this context, Airbus Defence and Space GmbH is investigating the noise generation mechanisms of propeller noise and its potential for noise reduction. Furthermore, the propagation of sound from the aircraft to the ground is being considered.
Scientific studies have demonstrated the health impacts of aircraft noise. Many European airports take aircraft noise into account in their operations, for example by imposing noise-dependent charges or restricting flight operations due to noise considerations. The noise reduction measures planned in BUZZKATZ address the conflict between economic growth and aircraft noise in a cost-efficient manner by reducing noise at the source while simultaneously lowering carbon dioxide and water vapor emissions.
Public funding enables international collaboration between industry, leading research institutions, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Within the framework of independent research proposals, the partners generate fundamental results that are subsequently made available for broader exploitation.
