Assessment of propfan propulsion systems for reduced environmental impact
… propulsion concepts include counter-rotating propfans (CRPs) which have been investigated intensively in the 1970s and 1980s and demonstrated significant reductions in fuel burn. Currently, propfans are being studied again due to their inherent noise challenge and the potential for reduced …

Turbulence ingestion noise of open rotors
Renewed interest in open rotor aeroengines, due to their fuel efficiency, has driven renewed interest in all aspects of the noise they generate. Noise due to the ingestion of distorted atmospheric turbulence, known as Unsteady Distortion Noise (UDN), is likely to be higher for open rotors than for …
