Abstract: The NASA Glenn Research Center’s DGEN Aero-propulsion Research Turbofan (DART) is based on the Price Induction DGEN380 – a small, ~500-lbf thrust class, high-bypass, geared-turbofan engine with a separate flow nozzle. The general characteristics of the DART make it an ideal candidate for utilization as a test bed for engine aeroacoustic research in a relevant performance environment. To provide a baseline acoustic profile for the DART, the system was tested in the NASA Glenn Research Center’s…
