Internationally recommended balanced approach to airport noise reduction
• Optimisation of high lift systems
• Acoustic treatment of nacelles
Airframe/NacellesAirframe/Nacelles
Technology for lower noise
• New high by-pass ratio engines

A380 Automatic Noise Abatement Departure Procedure (NADP)
• A380 has a new automated function to handle the aircraft according to a noise optimal fligth path taking into account the individual airport constraints and areas not to be exposed
• Real-time system allows the aircraft to follow best flight path in all all adverse ambient conditions, presented to the pilot shortly before take-off

Take-off: MTOW, Sea level, ISA+15
The A380 offers better take-off and landing performance than the 747-400
Shorter distances mean less noise exposure outside the airport boundaries
