Raspet adds ‘very, very quiet’ lab

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State University’s Raspet Flight Research Laboratory has gone quieter with a newly constructed interior room that has been labeled the university’s quietest. Known as an acoustic anechoic (echo-less) chamber, the room, designed and built by Raspet’s engineers in consultation with expert faculty within MSU’s Bagley College of Engineering, absorbs reflections of sound waves. It was built as part of a collaborative research venture seeking to quiet unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Sponsored by the Department of Defense, the research could enable Army UAS to one day fly cooler, quieter and with more efficiency than ever.
