A LIGHT AIRCRAFT AS A LOW-FREQUENCY SOUND SOURCE FOR ACOUSTICAL OCEANOGRAPHY

The sound from a propeller-driven aircraft is largely generated by the propeller itself. Its acoustic signature consists of a series of harmonics, the lowest of which, the fundamental, is typically in the region of 100 Hz, with the higher harmonics appearing at multiples of the fundamental. Experime...
