• Abstract:
  This paper presents architectural and functional descriptions of the Aircraft Acoustics Module ; (AAM) in the Federal Aviation Administration’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) ; for modeling aircraft noise in the vicinity of airports. While the overall functionality of the ; AAM was based on the FAA’s current Integrated Noise Model (INM), the development of the ; AAM as a module in AEDT has led to distinct architectural differences relative to INM. In order ; to highlight the new features of AEDT and its AAM, the INM will be discussed in this paper as a ; reference. Following this description, the role of the AAM in noise impact analyses is discussed, including the use of AAM output to generate a variety of different noise metrics with AEDT.
