vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Noise level" 03-22-03, 22:20z  Hi Dale - Curious about noise level inside high performance military aircraft. Considering the awesome noise outside, what's it like inside?

DHamblin Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: Noise level" 03-24-03, 17:45z  You'll have to speak up, not sure Dale can hear you... JUST KIDDING DALE! I'd be curious about this as well. Then, compare it to the F4U Corsair!! Dave Hamblin (formerly DaveH on old site!) Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

My only excuse and it's lame one, has been my schedule and some posting glitches with my computer. On the noise issue.... I've yet to fly a quiet fighter they are all loud. Interestingly, the dominent sound in Jet fighters is not engine noise but air conditioning! In the F-14 it's called the Envionmental Conditioning System "ECS" and it approches 100 decibels. For piston fighters like the Corsair and Mustang the engine is the biggest noise contributer but slip stream and aerodynamic wind noise add their DB's as speed increases. For the record the F-14 is the nosiest cockpit I've been in assuming the canopy is closed. Best Regards Dale Snodgrass Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Hi Dale - No problem - we're just glad to have you here! > For the record the F-14 is the nosiest cockpit I've been in assuming the > canopy is closed. OK, I gotta bite - what's the noisiest with the canopy open? Have some more questions but will put in another thread.
