Airports will get noisier due to climate change say scientists

Scientists at the University of Reading say airports will get noisier with warmer air changing how aircraft take off

Airports will get noisier as Earth gets warmer, study shows

Warmer air from climate change will tend to make departing aircraft create more noise pollution around European airports by 2050.

Airports will get noisier as Europe heats up, study warns

The warmer air caused by climate change will oblige airplanes to ascend more slowly, meaning departing aircraft will create noise pollution for a larger number of residents. A new study, carried out by scientists from the University of Reading and published in the journal Aerospace, looked at how rising air temperatures change the way aircraft take off. As hotter air is less dense, its lift generation is reduced, and this keeps aircraft closer t…
