- Abstract
This paper shows that corrugated skin used in the past with Junkers aircraft to increase the fuselage and wing rigidity can lead to noise reduction for future European aircraft. If the pressure side of wing which is placed above the engine is corrugated, the jet noise reflected by wing will be scattered. This way, the diffuse acoustic field has a lower intensity at ground level and correspondingly, a lower impact on community. Similarly, it is shown that if the underside of fuselage is corrugated, the noise emitted by the nose landing-gear and main landing-gear is also scattered. The existence of this effect is demonstrated by some recent measurements done inside auto-tunnels covered inside with corrugated sheet metal which indicated a reduction of maximum noise level by up to 30%. Some experiments done by the authors at low scale on an Airbus A380 wing model (scale 1:375) showed that the jet-noise reflected by the corrugated skin of wing is reduced by 4 dB in the near field. Reintroducing corrugated skin in the manufacturing process of modern aircraft is beneficial because, on the one hand, it reduces the jet and the landing-gear noise discomfort and, on the other hand, it permits manufacturing stronger frames for passenger aircraft/airliners.
