Choir singers help researchers design quieter airplanes

As the beautiful harmonies of the Century Singers echo through the hallway, dozens of microphones pick up the sound of their voices—while software tracks each note. This may not sound like a typical aerospace engineering experiment, but the results may improve commercial and military airplanes.

Choir voices help engineers make quieter planes

At Texas A&M University, an unusual experiment is using the power of song to improve airplane design. Instead of a traditional lab setup, researchers invited choir singers to help test a new sound-tracking device that could lead to quieter commercial and military aircraft. Led by aerospace engineering professor Dr. Darren Hartl and Ph.D. student Kevin […] The post Choir voices help engineers make quieter planes appeared first on Knowridge Scienc…
