An active structural acoustic control system has been demonstrated on a Raytheon Aircraft Company 1900D turboprop airliner. Both single frequency and multi-frequency control of the blade passage frequency and its harmonics was accomplished. The control algorithm was a variant of the popular filtered-x LMS implemented in the principal component domain. The control system consisted of 21 inertial actuators and 32 microphones. The actuators were mounted to the aircraft's ring frames. The microphones were distributed uniformly throughout the interior at head height, both seated and standing. Actuator locations were selected using a combinatorial search optimization algorithm. The control system achieved a 14 dB noise reduction of the blade passage frequency during single frequency tests. Multi-frequency control of the first 1st, 2nd and 3rd harmonics resulted in 10.2 dB, 3.3 dB and 1.6 dB noise reductions respectively. These results fall short of the predictions which were produced by the optimization algorithm (13.5 dB, 8.6 dB and 6.3 dB). The optimization was based on actuator transfer functions taken on the ground and it is postulated that cabin pressurization at flight altitude was a factor in this discrepancy.Palumbo, Dan and Cabell, Ran and Sullivan, Brenda and Cline, JohnLangley Research CenterACTIVE CONTROL; NOISE (SOUND); STRUCTURAL STABILITY; NOISE REDUCTION; OPTIMIZATION; COMBINATORIAL ANALYSIS; TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT; ALGORITHMS; FLIGHT ALTITUDE; TRANSFER FUNCTIONS; HARMONICS...
