> > The Cambridge Philosophical Society's Honorary Fellows Lecture will take > place at the Bristol Myers Squibb Lecture Theatre, Department of Chemistry, > Lensfield Road on Wednesday 7 February 2018 at 6.00pm. The Speaker is > Professor Dame Ann Dowling OM DBE FRS FREng, President of the Royal Academy > of Engineering and Professor of Mechanical Engineering, University of > Cambridge whose lecture is entitled "Towards a silent aircraft". > Abstract as follows: Although aircraft noise has reduced considerably since > the introduction of high-speed jet transport, it is still a major societal > concern. In this talk, Ann Dowling will discuss what generates noise on > modern civil aircraft. Ways in which the noise is being reduced for the next > generation of aircraft will be presented, together with techniques to > accurately predict the noise and enable design optimisation. In the longer > term, a radial re-think of aircraft configuration could bring very > substantial noise reductions combined with a reduced fuel burn. In such > designs low fuel burn and noise are not achieved by a single design feature > but rather through the integration of many technologies into a viable > aircraft designed and optimised with a consideration of use. > > > The lecture is free (no booking required) and open to all who are interested > and will be an excellent opportunity to hear an eminent scientist. A > complimentary drinks reception to follow on after the lecture, will take > place in the foyer to the lecture theatre, for all attendees. > > Entrance to the Bristol-Myers Squibb Lecture Theatre, is adjacent to the > Scott Polar Research Institute on Lensfield Road > > > > If you wish to be removed from this mailing, please email > [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> quoting the > reference at the end of the subject line to this email. > > -- > Mrs Beverley Larner > Executive Secretary > Cambridge Philosophical Society > 17 Mill Lane > Cambridge CB2 1RZ > > Tel: 01223 334743 > Email: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Website: www.cambridgephilosophicalsociety.org > <http://www.cambridgephilosophicalsociety.org/> > > > > > > > > >
