Extract

The development of the jet engine produced jet noise problems. Most of the understanding of jet noise was and is performed in universities. The fundamental and quite exceptional work of Lighthill was followed by that of Curie. Powell and Ffowcs Williams at Southampton in the early 1950s and was paralleled by experimental investigations on noise suppression by for example. Lilley at Cranfield. This university work was used to form the basis of a programme of research into jet engine noise at Ministry of Aviation establishments with considerable university inputs which established a commanding lead for the United Kingdom in the understanding of jet noise.

The formation of the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research at the University of Southampton under the inspiration of Professor E. J. Richards was a step which placed university research at a different level to that usually observed in the United Kingdom by concentrating in one place some 40-50 people all devoted to research and postgraduate education.
