Abstract
Preparing and pre-testing experimental setups for flight tests is a lengthy but necessary task. One part of this preparation is comparing newly available measurement technology with proven setups. In our case, we wanted to compare acoustic Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) to large and proven surface-mounted condenser microphones. The task started with the comparison of spectra in low-speed wind tunnel environments. After successful completion, the challenge was increased to similar comparisons in a transonic wind tunnel. The final goal of performing in-flight measurements on the outside fuselage of a twin-engine turboprop aircraft was eventually achieved using a slim array of 45 MEMS microphones with additional large microphones installed on the same carrier to drawn on for comparison. Finally, the array arrangement of MEMS microphones allowed for a complex study of fuselage surface pressure fluctuations in the wavenumber domain. The study indicates that MEMS microphones are an inexpensive alternative to conventional microphones with increased potential for spatially high-resolved measurements even at challenging experimental conditions during flight tests.
