Now that the jet airliners are quieter than the light singles, isn't it time for some noise reduction? What significant disadvantage would there be to a muffler re-design to reduce noise? I realize there isn't much room available for a larger muffler, and the increased heat it might radiate would be a factor to consider. But I can recall when police helos would awaken the neighborhood; now that's a thing of the past. Surely there is some technologic expertise that could be applied to aircraft noise reduction, isn't there? Aren't Q-tip props quieter? |
