What is it about?
Community noise around airports is typically assessed based on aircraft flyover noise measurements. This poses limitations on predicting the impact of novel aircraft designs and unconventional takeoff or approach procedures. The paper proposes an aircraft noise estimation method that bypasses dependance on empirical data, hence allowing novel concepts for aviation to be assessed.

Why is it important?
The method can be used by: 1) Stakeholders with access only to public information (e.g. Airports, legislators) for effective planning and decision-making on airport noise abatement , and 2) Aircraft manufacturers, for performing parametric studies at early development stages; and for helping identify the most/less promising novel design options (save money and time by eliminating the non-promising ones at early stages).
Perspectives
We hope that those researchers and/or engineers working towards the development of novel technologies for reducing aircraft noise can find this paper interesting and useful, as it presents a fast and easy-to-implement framework for computing noise emission of unconventional aircraft designs.
