Noise

Reducing aircraft noise

By limiting perceived noise, especially during takeoff and landing, we will help foster the acceptance of air traffic growth.

At Safran, we have long focused on reducing aircraft noise, which primarily impacts people living near airports. According to experts, each new generation of aircraft reduces its acoustic footprint by about 15% over the previous generation. Research into noise reduction is focusing not only on engines, but also on landing gear and other aircraft equipment.

Key figures

In 40 years, the noise generated by mainline jets has decreased about 20 decibels. By 2020, manufacturers hope to reduce noise during takeoff and landing by a further 50%.
