Objective. The introduction of aircraft with advanced counter-rotating open rotor (CROR) power plants will improve specific fuel consumption by 10-15% relative to equivalent turbofans. The NINHA project will assess whether noise issues away from airports (i.e. during high altitude operations) will hazard the introduction of this new generation of power plants designed to improve fuel burn and reduce CO2 emissions beyond the ACARE 2020 objectives.
