Related projects and research programmes
FRIENDCOPTER The FRIENDCOPTER project aims to provide engine and cabin noise reduction, low-noise flight procedures, noise-absorbing engine inlets, methods to identify cabin noise leaks, control technology to reduce rotor noise, vibration and fuel consumption and a model rotor for testing in a wind tunnel at Mach speed.

Health in Aircraft Cabins
Very interesting study on environmental health impact in aircraft-cabins, conducted and published by MRC Institute of Environmental Health (stage 1) and BRE (stage 2) in September 2001 on behalf of the British Department for Transport

IDEA Paci
Project, that aimed for improvement of transport in aircraft-cabins with special regard on noise and vibration cancellation-techniques.


AeroSME
The AeroSME project is a joint activity between the European Association of Aerospace Industry and the European Commission. The project aims at encouraging and supporting the participation of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in the European Union research programmes.

FACE
The name FACE is an acronym for Friendly Aircraft Cabin Environment.
It is a four-year project funded under the Technology Platform in the European Community (EC) 5th Framework Programme. The aim of FACE is to improve environmental comfort in the aircraft cabins and cockpits of future European turbofan aircraft. It addresses the environmental comfort parameters that depend on noise, vibration and air quality technology, and includes effects on - and from - multimedia use.
