An acoustic panel is provided that includes a perforated first skin, a second skin and a core. The core includes a first wall, a second wall and a stiffener. The core forms a plurality of cavities that extend vertically between the perforated first skin and the second skin and that extend laterally between the first wall and the second wall. The plurality of cavities include a first cavity. The stiffener projects partially into the first cavity and is connect to the first wall and the second wall.

Application of leading edge serration and trailing edge foam for undercarriage wheel cavity noise reduction

A system for use in an aircraft or other system in an ambient airflow includes a body defining a cavity having an opening exposed to ambient airflow, with a cavity interface defined by body structure surrounding the opening. The cavity interface includes a cavity floor opposite the cavity opening, a leading edge facing away from the ambient airflow, a trailing edge facing the airflow, and a rear wall extending between the trailing edge and the cavity floor. A panel of sound-absorbing material is attached to and covers substantially all of the surface area of the rear wall of the cavity, and minimizes emanation of a predetermined range of audible sound frequencies from the cavity. The system may include an elongated serrated element connected to body and extending along the leading edge and arranged flush with the leading edge.
