The Helicopter noise analysis code was developed using Farassat's Formular 1A based on Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkings equation and Lowson's Formula which contains single loading noise source concept. HART-II(Higher harmonic control Aeroacoustic Rotor Test), STAR(Smart-Twisting Active Rotor) and Active-tab Rotor were computed and analyzed by using developed noise code. The results of these rotor noise prediction are explained and its applicability would be mentioned in this paper.

Active tab is one of the promising technology for the BVI (blade-vortex interaction) noise reduction, and analysis of noise reduction performance is very important phase of the technology development. For the purpose of analysing the performance of noise reduction using active tab, CAMRAD II model for a model-scale rotor system was constructed utilizing structural design result and airfoil aerodynamic data generated by CFD (computational fluid dynamics) calculation. HHC strategy was applied to descent flight condition and air-load was calculated by CAMRAD II then variations of BVI noise was calculated by in-house program. Calculation result with respect to tab length and control phase changes showed BVI noise could be reduced by -3.3dB.

Generally, tone noise is generated at the rotary wing and helicopter. BVI(Blade-Vortex Interaction) noise is one of the helicopter's tone noise. The BVI noise is governed by tip-vortex characteristics such as vortex size, strength and trajectory. To avoid BVI, many methods have been developed and proposed. In this paper, rotating blade with active tab was numerically investigated to reduce BVI noise. For flow and noise simulation, the lifting surface approach and the acoustic analogy were used. Using numerical methods, the noise directivity and maximum noise position were predicted.
