...through a sheet-metal plate perforated with small holes close together. This did not work very well. The wakes of the little jets of gas acted upon each other and caused violent turbulence that made too much noise of its own. Next they added to the tail pipe a metal cylinder with holes all around and closed at the rear end with a metal cone. It worked well in reducing noise level, but since the gas jets pointed every which way, the engine lost nearly all of its thrust...
Final trick was to stud the tail pipe cylinder with holes made in such a way that the gas streams escaping through them pointed almost directly backward. This device preserved most of the engine's thrust, and also eliminated nearly all of its low-frequency noise...
Pratt & Whitney's silencer has not yet been tested in flight. For actual installation in airliners, it will be made of several telescoping cylinders fitting around the tail pipe, and a segmented cone that can be closed or opened. When the airplane takes off within earshot of neighbors, the cylinders will be extended and the cone closed. The mighty stream of hot gases will be broken into small and comparatively quiet jets. After the aircraft is high in the air, the cylinders will be drawn back into the engine's nacelle and the cone will be opened. Then...
