Vibroacoustic characterization of rescue and medical transport aircraft in the State of Santa Catarina
Project Description: In rescue and aeromedical transport operations, the exposure of crew and patients to sound pressure and vibration levels differ from a crew’s exposure of air or private taxi flights. This difference is primarily caused by the different flight configurations required in operations and also by the great variation of the exhibitions during a working day, since there are days with many operations and others with none. Flights patterns and aircraft types directly influence sound pressure levels and vibrations to which crews and patients are exposed. This research project aims to investigate the vibroacoustic conditions inside aircraft that are used by the security forces of the State of Santa Catarina during rescue missions and aeromedical transport.
