The original X-Noise European project ran from 1998-2001. This was followed by X2-Noise from 2002-2006, and X3-Noise from 2006-2010. The current project, X-Noise EV, started in December 2010. Collectively these projects are known as X-Noise.
The current X-Noise EV project is led by SNECMA, and its primary objective is the coordination of European research activities related to aircraft noise.
X-Noise EV is a Coordination and Support Action funded by the European Commission through the seventh Framework Programme. Through its network structure and comprehensive workplan involving expert groups, scientific workshops, stakeholder seminars and a common information system, this consortium address the aircraft noise challenges set by the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe ( ACARE ) 2020 vision.
Within the framework of X-Noise a network of National Focal Points (NFP) has been established aimed at improving the integration of the research community.
Objectives of the NFPs include:
- Identify network participants (Industry, Academic, SMEs, Research Organizations).
- Consolidate expertise mapping with a pro-active approach towards SMEs.
- Inform local researchers on aircraft noise research strategic priorities.
- Identify novel ideas.
- Identify national programmes and potential input to future EC projects.
- Participate to international conferences and organise local dissemination.
- Identify alternative sources of support for training and education related research work through exchanges of personnel and bilateral cooperation opportunities.
In the United Kingdom, these objectives have been achieved through setting up a dedicated UK X-Noise Network in Aeroacoustics web site, organizing annual networking workshops, and disseminating information on recent aircraft noise research via X-Noise annual reports and the CEAS-ASC Aeroacoustics Highlights reports published annually in Journal of Sound and Vibration. Please note: access to the workshops and reports pages are restricted to network partners only.
Partners of UK X-Noise Network in Aeroacoustics are also members of the UK Environmental Technology National Technical Committee - Noise .
There are currently eighteen partners in the UK X-Noise Network in Aeroacoustics. The network activities are coordinated by Dr Alan McAlpine (ISVR, University of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载, am@isvr.soton.ac.uk ).
