This paper presents the status and on-going development of a new model for the prediction of aft-radiated turbofan broadband noise. The proposed model is developed using data from two full-scale flight tests, the Boeing Quiet Technology Demonstrator 2 (QTD2) and the NASA/Boeing Propulsion Airframe Aeroacoustics and Aircraft System Noise (PAA&ASN) flight tests. The proposed model accounts for an observed coupling between directivity and fan relative tip Mach number. Additional features such as improved spectral and directivity characteristics are discussed. Significant improvements over prior methods implemented in the NASA Aircraft Noise Prediction Program are demonstrated, and predicted deltas to measured levels are reduced from +10/-20 dB to +/-3 dB or better at the most relevant frequencies. This is expected to greatly improve the ability of NASA to predict the noise of both current and future aircraft concepts.
