• Abstract:
  The Heliport Noise Model (HNM) is the United States standard for predicting civil helicopter noise exposure in the vicinity of heliports and airports. HNM Version 1 is the culmination of several years of work in helicopter noise research, field measurements and software development. Up until now, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has had access to only rudimentary helicopter noise prediction tools to use in airport planning. This is in sharp contrast to the modeling of fixed-wing aircraft noise in which the FAA's Integrated Noise Model (INM) has evolved to become the most widely accepted civil airport noise exposure model. HNM is now embarking on the same research and developement path and under the auspices of the same group that developed INM.
