Joseph P. McLellan

Joseph P. McLellan was an influential American researcher and engineer known for advancing aeronautical acoustics, the study of sound in aircraft and aerospace environments. His work helped improve the design of quieter, more efficient aircraft by understanding how noise is generated and propagates around flying vehicles. McLellan contributed to developing testing methods and theoretical models that continue to influence aircraft noise control and environmental regulations. His efforts played a significant role in making aviation less disruptive to communities and advancing Helicopter and airplane technologies in the mid-20th century.
