The Airbus A350 is the first European airliner expected to benefit from the European Union's recently completed €112 million ($152 million) SILENCE(R) noise reduction research project.
Since its inception in April 2001 SILENCE(R) has developed negatively-scarfed intakes, low-noise fan nozzles with internal and external plugs, exhaust splitters, active stators and a range of liners for inlets.
"The A350 [is] just at the edge of accepting [SILENCE(R) technology]," says industry co-ordinator Eugène Kors, a manager with French propulsion company Snecma.
