The main sources of noise from modern transport aircraft are examined along with currently employed means of minimizing the influence of aircraft noise on communities neighboring air terminal areas. The complexity of the task is elucidated by stressing the importance of unified development and implementation of measures designed to reduce the noise both at the source and along its path of propagation. These measures are identified as specially designed low-noise engines, traffic control and flightmaneuver procedures stressing noise abatement, and architectural as well as urban planning guidelines in the growth of nearby communities. Operational examples of noise abatement procedures employed by current Soviet transport aircraft are described, and their effectiveness is evaluated. (Author)
