Skins: Jet Audio

AeroAcoustic-2026-04-18 Executive Summary This report provides a detailed examination of Jet Audio Skins (JAS) — a class of adaptive acoustic metamaterials designed to mitigate jet engine noise at its source and along fuselage boundary layers. As aircraft noise regulations tighten (e.g., ICAO Chapter 14) and urban air mobility expands, JAS technology promises a paradigm shift from passive sound-absorbing liners to intelligent, frequency-selective, structurally integrated skins.
