Case Study: Lockheed Martin achieves community-friendly fighter jet takeoff procedures with JMP
A JMP Case Study
Award-winning Lockheed Martin engineers take a statistical approach to aircraft departure noise
Lockheed Martin needed a way to develop community-friendly takeoff procedures for fighter jets, balancing aircraft performance and pilot safety with noise concerns for nearby neighborhoods. To tackle this challenge, Lockheed Martin used JMP statistical discovery software and related JMP tools to analyze flight patterns and optimize takeoff profiles.
Using JMP, Lockheed Martin built a rapid process to evaluate takeoff settings, simulate flight impacts, and identify the best profiles for reducing noise. The approach made analysis much faster—turning work that used to take hours or days into seconds—and helped the team win the Distinguished Engineering Project Achievement Award in 2011 from the Engineers’ Council.
