Abstract

A method is disclosed for reducing noise and vibration within a structure of a mobile platform, wherein the noise and vibration are at least in part caused by airflow over an outer skin of the mobile platform parallel to a longitudinal line extending fore to aft along the structure. The method may involve forming the structure such that a fundamental panel vibration mode shape of the structure is not parallel to the longitudinal line.
