Project Number: 082
Category: Noise, Combustion Products
The purpose of this project is to support the FAA in conducting a cost–effectiveness stringency analysis for efforts in ICAO CAEP while considering the interdependencies between CO2 and noise. While analyses of this type have been previously conducted, this project seeks to update the assumptions and modeling capabilities based on a quantitative assessment of technological benefits and the costs associated with achieving those benefits. .
To evaluate the economic reasonableness of proposed aircraft standards, the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP) requires tools for assessing the impact of technologies and design changes intended to control aircraft noise and combustion products and for evaluating the costs of implementing such changes to aircraft and engine designs. Existing methods used to support decision-making in previous CAEP noise stringencies do not represent modern aircraft and propulsion designs and technologies. The goal of this project is to develop new tools that address the shortcomings of the previous methods in support of CAEP/13 stringency analyses.
