A small, high bypass turbofan engine, suitable for use in general aviation aircraft, was designed, built and tested. Key features of the engine include low noise, low exhaust emissions and high propulsive efficiency. Testing was conducted with a simulated flight nacelle. Exhaust emissions were measured and the noise data taken was used to predict sideline, takeoff and approach noise levels.
