It is first underlined that the turbulence si9nificant for noise must be located relatively to moving axes, following the local flow.
The neighbouring eddies interact, stretching each other with a significant density change, which is the noise origin. The rotor noise is almost independent and is first analysed ; then the rotor blow strikes all the other parts of the helicopter, with a new and strong eddy stretching, creating and important noise source.
The main difficulty is the study of the interaction between the main and tail rotors
