Selection of Propeller Blade Angle Operating Range for Light Sport Aircraft Using a Noise-Thrust Trade-off Index
Blade angle adjustment is one of the few noise-control measures available to operators of light sport aircraft fitted with ground-adjustable propellers, because engine speed cannot be lowered freely without penalising take-off performance. Reducing noise by changing the blade angle, however, also changes static thrust, so the two effects must be weighed together. This study converts A-weighted sound pressure levels and static thrust measured on a Rotax 914 UL powered light sport aircraft into a single evaluation index. A specific noise level, defined as the A-weighted level minus ten times the common logarithm of static thrust, is introduced, together with an exchange rate expressing noise reduction per unit of thrust loss. Four blade angles from 14 to 20 degrees were examined at three engine speeds. At the take-off setting the specific noise level was lowest between 16 and 18 degrees, while the 16 degree setting gave the highest exchange rate at 0.46 dB(A) per one percent of thrust loss. At the cruise setting only the 14 degree case reduced noise, at a markedly lower exchange rate. The results provide a numerical basis for selecting blade angles at training aerodromes where noise complaints are frequent.
