	uin	200899
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The loudest operation to be conducted by the F-35B onboard an aircraft carrier is a Military Power take-off. The measured aircraft sound level of a Military Power take-off is approximately 145 dB at 135 degrees from the aircraft nose centre line, at a distance of 50 feet from the rear of the aircraft. The Military Power take-off is a standard operating procedure and managing exposure to noise is an integral part of normal embarked operations. This level of noise is similar to that of the Harrier, F18's, F15's and the same level as produced by an F-16.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 23/06/2014 15:23:42 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
