Source summary
Design a silencer for a fighter-aircraft environmental-control distribution system within the available installation space. It must use suitable airworthy sound-dissipating materials and account for pressure changes associated with valve operation, engine speed and ambient pressure. The source identifies these constraints but does not provide a validated design.
