Aviation and the Environment: Deicing and Noise
Wednesday, December 1, 1:45–5:00 pm

Chairs:  Dr. Kazhikathra (Kailas) Kailasanath, Naval Research Laboratory, and Dr. Satya Chauhan, Battelle Memorial InstituteKeynotes:  Ms. Mary Wyderski, U.S. Air Force – Aeronautical Systems Center, and Dr. Krishna Viswanathan, The Boeing Company

Environmental impacts associated with the operation of military aircraft include deicing of aircraft and runways and the noise generated by aircraft engines. Deicing is critical for operation in adverse weather conditions but has a significant environmental impact when runoff of deicing agents occurs. The high-performance engines used in military aircraft generate a tremendous amount of noise even at subsonic speeds. In addition to the negative effects on flightline personnel, this noise can affect the ability to base and operate military aircraft near communities. This session featured efforts to (1) develop and implement new deicing materials that significantly reduce the impact on ecosystems and (2) model the impact of noise on the environment and develop technologies for reducing noise generation.
