IIT, IISc engineers develop silencer for jet planes:
You may soon be able to sleep soundly at night if you live close to an airport.
Engineers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-B) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore have come up with a new technology that decreases the noise of jets taking off and landing.
The two institutes worked with Imperial College in London.
The technology will be used on aircraft including Boeing 747s and other long haul flights.
The research began in 2006 with Rolls Royce. U Ramamurthy from IISc’s department of materials engineering led the 11-member team. Vyasa Shastry, who is studying towards a PhD at IISc, also worked on the project.
How does the technology work?
The technology uses shape memory alloys that can work in temperatures of 200 degrees Celsius. This will bring down the noise from the engine during take-off and landing.
