Analysis of the existing Russian regulatory framework on the level of sonic boom on the ground of supersonic aircrafts
The article analyzes the Russian legal framework in the field of noise normalization, including taking into account the peculiarities of pulse sound normalization in order to prepare for the development of a standard for the noise of ICAO supersonic aircraft. The analysis shows that there are no standard approaches to measuring, assessing and normalizing the noise generated by supersonic aircraft, and that there are issues to be discussed in this area, which makes it impossible to form the requirements for sonic boom without additional research and political decision-making, agreed at the international level. In Russia, there is a significant number of regulatory documents relating to the protection of the environment, in accordance with the legislation, the priority in terms of noise normalization have sanitary and epidemiological rules, which include requirements for tonal and impulse noise. At the same time, in aviation legislation there are differences in the requirements for noise on the ground and there are no existing regulatory requirements for the level of sonic booms of supersonic aircraft. The requirements for the level of sonic booms of supersonic aircraft contained in GOST 23552-79 are outdated and have lost their obligatory status. And in the Russian Aviation rules that determine the certification requirements for self-years, any requirements for the level of sonic booms, as well as in the ICAO standards are not established.
