Abstract

This paper deals with the process of estimating the environmental noise generated from the actual flying aircraft using the noise measurement results obtained through the wind tunnel test and verifying it through flight tests. In order to evaluate the environmental noise of an aircraft, noise tests and evaluations are generally conducted according to the procedures prescribed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). In this paper, we introduced environmental noise evaluation method that can be applied to composite both fixed-wing aircraft and multi-copter, and introduced the evaluation method by experiment. This paper introduces the process of simulating the noise test results measured in the wind tunnel test using real flight test results. In addition, in consideration of flight operating conditions and noise measurement methods proposed by the ICAO, the effective perceived noise level (EPNL) was predicted by performing both the wind tunnel test and the aircraft flight test.

본 논문에서는 풍동 실험을 통해 측정한 소음 결과를 활용하여 실제 비행하는 기체에서 발생되는 소음수준을 예측하고 비행시험을 통해 검증하는 과정을 다루었다. 항공기의 환경소음 평가를 위해서는 일반적으로 국제민간항공기구(이하 ICAO)에서 규정한 절차에 따라 소음시험 및 평가를 수행하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 고정익 및 회전익(멀티콥터)의 특징을 모두 가지고 있는 복합형 기체에 적용이 가능한 환경 소음평가 방안과 실험을 통해 검증한 결과를 제시하였다. 고정익과 회전익 소형 무인기를 활용하여 풍동실험에서 측정한 소음시험 결과를 실제 비행 시험결과로 시뮬레이션 하는 과정을 제시하였다. 또한, ICAO에서 제시하는 비행 운용조건 및 소음 측정 방법을 고려하여 풍동실험을 통한 결과와 실 기체 비행시험을 모두 수행하여 항공기 소음인증을 위한 실효감각소음레벨(EPNL)을 예측 및 고찰하였다.
