Download or read book Comparison of Speech Intelligibility in Cockpit Noise Using Sph 4 Flight Helmet with and Without Active Noise Reduction written by National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-11 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Active Noise Reduction (ANR) is a new technology which can reduce the level of aircraft cockpit noise that reaches the pilot's ear while simultaneously improving the signal to noise ratio for voice communications and other information bearing sound signals in the cockpit. A miniature, ear-cup mounted ANR system was tested to determine whether speech intelligibility is better for helicopter pilots using ANR compared to a control condition of ANR turned off. Two signal to noise ratios (S/N), representative of actual cockpit conditions, were used for the ratio of the speech to cockpit noise sound pressure levels. Speech intelligibility was significantly better with ANR compared to no ANR for both S/N conditions. Variability of speech intelligibility among pilots was also significantly less with ANR. When the stock helmet was used with ANR turned off, the average PB Word speech intelligibility score was below the Normally Acceptable level. In comparison, it was above that level with ANR on in both S/N levels. Chan, Jeffrey W. and Simpson, Carol A. Unspecified Center NAS2-12425; NAS2-13188; RTOP 505-61-51...

This book was released on 1990 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Active Noise Reduction (ANR) is a new technology which can reduce the level of aircraft cockpit noise that reaches the pilot's ear while simultaneously improving the signal-to-noise ratio for voice communications and other information-bearing sound signals in the cockpit. A miniature, ear-cup mounted ANR system, developed by Royal Aerospace Establishment, Farnborough, United Kingdom, was tested by U.S. Army Aeroflightdynamics Directorate, Simulation and Aircraft Systems Division, Crew Station Research and Development Branch to determine whether speech intelligibility is better for helicopter pilots using ANR compared to a control condition of ANR turned off. The ANR system was installed in a stock Army SPH-4 flight helmet, and tested in a background of recorded AH-1S (Cobra) cockpit noise, using phonetically balanced word lists, per MIL-STD-1472C. Two signal-to-noise ratios (S/N), representative of actual cockpit conditions, were used: 0 dB and +10 dB for the ratio of the speech to cockpit noise sound pressure levels. Speech intelligibility was significantly better with ANR compared to no ANR for both S/N conditions. Variability of speech intelligibility among pilots was also significantly less with ANR. When the stock helmet was used with ANR turned off, the average PB word speech intelligibility score was below the Normally Acceptable level, per MIl-STD-1472C in the 0 dB S/N levels and exceeded the Exceptionally High Intelligibility level with S/N +10 dB. Keywords: Cockpit communications, Active noise reduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year public awareness of the importance of ergonomics for improving people's working conditions and home environment increases, as the application of ergonomics brings more and more tangible benefits to society at large. The Annual International Industrial Ergonomics and Safety Conference held in Copenhagen, Denmark in June 1993, sponsored by the International Foundation for Industrial Ergonomics and Safety Research brought together more than 200 ergonomic professionals from North America, Europe and Asia to present over 120 research papers, in a quest to share their knowledge of new developments in design for people and improving safety at work.; This volume is a reference on the variety of problems that industrial and office workers face today, and moreover, offers solutions in the drive towards the safe workplace.

Download or read book Speech Intelligibility with Helicopter Noise Tests of Three Helmet Mounted Communication Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military aviator helmet communications systems are designed to enhance speech intelligibility (SI) in background noise and reduce exposure to harmful levels of noise. Some aviators, over the course of their aviation career, develop noise-induced hearing loss that may affect their ability to perform required tasks. New technology can improve SI in noise for aviators with normal hearing as well as those with hearing loss. SI in noise scores were obtained from 40 rotary-wing aviators (20 with normal hearing and 20 with hearing-loss waivers). There were three communications systems evaluated: a standard SPH-4B, an SPH-4B aviator helmet modified with communications earplug (CEP), and an SPH-4B modified with active noise reduction (ANR). Subjects' SI was better in noise with newer technologies than with the standard issue aviator helmet. A significant number of aviators on waivers for hearing loss performed within the range of their normal hearing counterparts when wearing the newer technology. The rank order of perceived speech clarity was 1) CEP, 2) ANR, and 3) unmodified SPH-4B. To insure optimum SI in noise for rotary-wing aviators, consideration should be given to retrofitting existing aviator helmets with new technology, and incorporating such advances in communication systems of the future. Review of standards for determining fitness to fly is needed.
Download or read book Noise Environs and Helmet Performance for the P 1127 V STOL Aircraft written by Henry C Sommer and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the evaluation was (1) to measure the acoustic noise environment in the cockpit of the United Kingdom Hawker Siddeley P-1127 V/STOL aircraft that would serve as an acoustic guideline for cockpit noise levels of aircraft being contemplated or under construction, and (2) to determine the acoustic attenuation of various Air Force flight helmets in the inventory or being contemplated for Air Force inventory items. Cockpit sound pressure levels in the P-1127 V/STOL aircraft at various engine rpm settings were measured. The cockpit noise environment at maximum engine rpm was reproduced in the laboratory and used to obtain objective attenuation data for three Air Force flight helmet/liner configurations. Measurement of real-ear attenuation at threshold were also accomplished on the helmet/liner configurations. (Author).

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republic of Korean Air Force (ROKAF) has introduced Passive Noise Cancellation (PNC) into conventional pilot helmets to deal with the issues above; however, it has not been proven yet that whether PNC is effective. On top of that, compared to cargo/helicopter pilots who can use aviation headset with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), most fighter pilots are still using conventional pilot helmet without ANC except for F-35 fighter pilots. This research aimed (1) to analyze the effect of cockpit noise on hearing health, pilot performance, and aviation safety, (2) to examine the effectiveness of PNC in conventional pilot helmet, (3) to evaluate the usefulness of ANC in military aircrafts, and (4) to suggest the use of ANC in conventional fighter pilot helmet.
