Acoustics technologies for STOVL aircraftState-of-the-art acoustic fatigue technologies that are relevant to supersonic Short Takeoff/Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft are investigated. Data and methods assessments of acoustic fatigue technologies for acoustic load predictions and stress response predictions are evaluated. Subsonic and supersonic jet noise generation mechanisms, axisymmetric and two-dimensional nozzles, and noise suppression methods are discussed. STOVL far field noise during hover, near field noise, and internal cockpit noise levels are predicted. Stress response prediction methods for acoustic, thermal, and maneuvering loads are addressed and the need for structural analysis methods with all three types of loads applied simultaneously is assessed.
