Aircraft Ageing and Noise

Abstract

RELATED to a degree and overlapping in their effects on the world's airline fleets, the issues of ageing and noise were addressed at a recent Avmark conference which was sponsored by FFV Aerotech. The problems of dealing economically with a large number of unacceptably noisy aircraft and ensuring that older aircraft remain airworthy beyond their original design lives are critical issues challenging operators throughout the world. Dominant here are the contributions dealing specifically with engine and airframe problems and solutions.
