Our last blog post talked about the level of confidence we have that any given aircraft insulation project will achieve the desired outcome. This time we will take a closer look at the process we go through when evaluating and treating an aircraft. Cabin noise reduction is a rather complex…
How much confidence do we have in achieving targeted noise levels?
Aircraft owners thinking about installing a cabin noise reduction kit often ask how well it will work and how much of an improvement in sound levels they can achieve. While aircraft insulation is a complex subject and results usually depend on the individual situation, we can point to a…
Active vs. Passive Noise Cancellation
When we talk about our aircraft cabin insulation systems, we are sometimes asked why we do not spend more time and effort on active noise cancellation. The Flight Environments Cabin Comfort System produced by Luminary Air Group is a passive system, meaning that it relies on insulation materials, barriers, dampening…
What is a quiet aircraft cabin?
Cabin sound levels vary greatly between different types of aircraft. So when we talk about quiet cabins, we have to keep in mind that there are significant variations based on size, engine type, and use of the airplane. If you are a pilot and like to get around in a…
Noise, Stress and Fatigue
Not only is a quiet airplane more comfortable during flight, noise levels also have a significant impact on post-flight fatigue. Over the last few decades, the medical profession has produced a number of studies that show the relationship between noise and the human body’s stress hormones. The general conclusion is…
