This is scientific American ,60 second science. I’m Chris D..ta. Got a minute?
In less you have a pair of noise-cancel headphones. Flying can be annoying to the ears. A lot of low-pitch rumbling1 makes it into the cabin. The problem is ,the wings ,floors, ceilings ,and bolcats, are lined with the lightly material with a honey cone2 structure, which adds to the structural3 integrity to the aircraft. But engine and airflow sound cuts right through. “The physical law says that the lighter4 the material is the worse it could block the sound.” UN? Jane is an acoustician in north Caroline University. In a quest for quiet, he and his colleagues constructed a similar material. But with a quarter mille-meter of thin latex, stretch across the cells of the honey cone. In test, the latext layer structure cut the intensity5 of low frequency rumbling to a thousand of its previous level. “enough” He says, ”to make an airplane cabin sound more like a peaceful living room. The study in the journal applied6 physics letters. Problem is the material Gin develops is six percent heavier than the standard stuff. And more weight means more fuel, means more expense. But if we settle for a little slightly quieter flight, Gin says could use less lay text. Making the noise barking honey cone just a few percent heavier. Considering the honey cones7 are one of the lightest part of the airplane, you then looking at a modest plane weight gain. Of course, Let’s assume everyone wants a quieter plane. “Some people say that they actually want to hear the sound of engine. They don’t want that the cabin is too quiet. They want to make sure that the plane is flying. ” Sounds like ? expensive headphones a little while ?
