Noise reduction method for slat sliding rail of high lift device for blocking main wing notch

The invention relates to the technical field of aerodynamic noise reduction of aviation aircrafts, and particularly discloses a noise reduction method for a slat sliding rail of a high lift device for blocking a main wing notch. According to the method, a main wing notch is dynamically sealed through an elastic plugging part, and airflow disturbance noise in a sliding rail cabin is restrained. When the front edge slat is opened, the blocking component seals the notch, and airflow is prevented from entering the sliding rail cabin. The shape of the plugging component is in smooth transition with the pneumatic shape of the main wing, the thickness is equivalent to that of the skin, the plugging component is made of a silicone rubber-carbon fiber reinforced composite material, the outer side of the plugging component is fixed through a high-strength aviation adhesive, the edge is coated with a polysulfide sealant layer, and the inner side and the sliding rail form a closed structure. Experiments prove that the broadband noise is reduced by about 3-5 dB, the sound pressure level at the center frequency of 6000 Hz is reduced by 10 dB, and the aerodynamic performance loss can be neglected.
