Abstract Today, with every television news station, radio station, police department, traffic reporter, life-flight rescue and emergency units circling above, helicopter roter sounds have become an annoyance to the public. The paper shows that this has led to an increase in local restrictions and tighter certification standards, forcing manufacturers to seek new technology for sound abatement. The paper discusses the three noise categories and modern noise reduction technologies.
From the Paper "Helicopter noise reduction has become so important to rotorcraft manufacturers that competition has ignited advertising campaign wars with each claiming one or more of their models to be the quietest in the industry (Kernstock 1999). he competition is so great in many cases that many helicopters are ?within a tenth of a decibel of each other ? far below human hearing thresholds? (Kernstock 1999). This advent of low-noise technology has created two classifications of rotorcraft, the new quiet crafts that meet new regulations and the older noisy ones that continue to operate under grand-fathering clauses yet may be prevented from being introduced into new markets (Kernstock 1999). Moreover, as anti-noise regulations increase, the older grand-fathered craft could eventually become prohibited in many areas, causing serious consequences for many operators who cannot afford the newer models (Kernstock 1999)."
Abstract This paper details the characteristics that go together to make the perfect company manager. It focuses on the the manager of Arsenal Football Club (AFC) in England, Arsene Wenger, who has been uniquely successful in taking his club from zeroes to heroes by using a combination of both Western science and Eastern Zen and looks at his background from his education through to his financial success as the longest-serving manager in Arsenal's history and also the most successful in terms of trophies won.
From the Paper "Arsene Wenger was born in Strasbourg (France) near the border of Germany in 1949. His upbringing and education is therefore a mix of French artistic sensibility coupled with a strong German work ethic and attention to science. Wenger realizes the importance of a good formal education to being a good manager. He has a degree in engineering and a Master's degree in economics. He is a fluent speaker of French, German and English, as well as speaking some Japanese, Spanish and Italian. In the English Premier League, traditionally a blue collar domain, the urbane and educated Wenger stands out and has thus attained the nickname 'professor'. Although his degrees and languages may not seem to have any immediate connection with his success as a soccer coach, the success of Wenger as we'll see is very much down to his holistic outlook on performance and how being a rounded, high-performing manager is critical to this."
