CMI launches ‘Silent Aircraft’ initiative
On Monday 10 November, the Cambridge-MIT Institute (CMI) launched a unique project to design a ‘silent’ aircraft. CMI’s ‘Silent Aircraft’ project has a bold aim: to discover ways to reduce aircraft noise dramatically, to the point where it would be virtually unnoticeable to people outside the airport perimeter. more.. | 10/11/03 | |
