Renewed interest in commercial supersonic flight has rekindled the need for accurate jet-noise predictions as this source is believed to dominate at aircraft takeoff conditions. The current study compares scale-model data acquired in the NASA Aero-Acoustic Propulsion Laboratory with data obtained using a well-instrumented Learjet 25D in a flyover test completed in September 2022. The flight test included 73 flyovers with engine conditions ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 engine pressure ratios and flight Mach numbers between 0.24 and 0.27. Acoustic data were acquired with an 800-ft linear ground plate microphone array. Wind speed data were acquired up to 1000- sft altitude with a ground-based LiDAR system. Layered ambient temperature, pressure, and humidity were acquired with a weather drone. A 6% increase in the physical scale factor for the scale-model data was found to reasonably align the peak frequencies of the scale-model and flight data and resulted in peak levels for the scale model being roughly 0.7 dB above those for the flight data at NPR = 1.56 and roughly 1 dB below those for the flight data at NPR = 1.91 in the peak jet-noise direction. Comparisons with the SAE ARP876 model were poor especially at emission angles greater than, or equal to, 110° and at high frequencies. |
