LONDON: NASA has partnered with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to help reduce aircraft noise and advance research into rotorcraft.
The agreements were signed at the Paris Air Show during a bilateral meeting and continues years of cooperation between the two agencies.
‘These agreements will ensure that productive collaboration continues as we work together solving challenges that will benefit a global aviation community and flyers worldwide,’ Jaiwon Shin from NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate said.
The agreements will advance methods for predicting aircraft system noise.
In a statement, NASA says the challenge is finding technologies that reduce noise but don’t adversely affect the environment.
The agreements will also see the development of a new blade imaging technique to help the study of airflow over helicopter blades in flight.
NASA and DLR hve previously collaborated on human spaceflight, space exploration, Earth science and astrophysics.
