        Airport 
        noise limits are now often more stringent than national targets. Major 
        airports are now deciding when and if a particular aircraft can fly. This 
        is especially a problem with the development of the new Airbus A370, since 
        larger aircraft generate more noise. The engines are a big source of noise. 
        At the Whittle Laboratory 
        we are looking at the design of the turbomachinery involved with the objective 
        of decreasing the noise levels without sacrificing the performance.
