ARRANGEMENTS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCED COMMUNICATION ON AIRCRAFT

Arrangements for communication and/or noise attenuation within an aircraft, and aircraft and methods for making aircraft including such arrangements are provided. In one example, an arrangement includes an array of first microphones cooperatively configured to be directed towards a first aircraft operator when disposed in a first cockpit seat to receive a first communication input from the first aircraft operator. An array of first speakers is cooperatively configured to be directed towards the first aircraft operator when disposed in the first cockpit seat to provide a first communication output to the first aircraft operator. 提供了用于飞机内的通信和/或噪声衰减的布置，以及飞机和用于制造包括这种布置的飞机的方法。在一个示例中，布置包括第一麦克风阵列，其被协作地配置为引导朝向当设置在第一驾驶舱座位中时的第一飞机操作员，以从第一飞机操作员接收第一通信输入。第一扬声器阵列被协作地配置为引导朝向当设置在第一驾驶舱座位中时的第一飞机操作员，以向第一飞机操作员提供第一通信输出。
