Chevron Description and Design
Chevron nozzles were first tested at GE Aircraft
Engines in 1996 during an internally funded
program, which looked at a variety of different
jet noise reduction concepts. The chevrons
proved to be the most promising concept
developed in terms of noise reduction and
performance impact, and were further
developed in testing at NASA Glenn Research
Center under the AST program [2,3]. The idea
for chevrons came from a myriad of sources, Figure Photograph of CFM56-5B conventional
