In this paper, an approach to the prediction of both the sound pressure level (SPL) of noise and the dynamic RCS of coaxial-tilt aircraft is carried out, based on the theories of the FW-H equation, the physics optics method (PO) and the physical theory of diffraction (PTD) method. In order to deal with the rotating parts (mainly including coaxial rotors), a generated rotation matrix (GRM) is raised, aiming at giving a universal formula for the time-domain grid coordinate transformation of all kinds of rotation parts with arbitrary rotation centers and rotation axis directions. Moreover, a compass-scissors model (CSM) reflecting the phase characteristics of coaxial rotors is established, and a method of noise reduction and RCS reduction based on the phase modulation method is put forward in this paper. The simulation results show that with proper CSM parameter combinations, the reduction of noise SPL can reach approximately 3~15 dB and the reduction of dynamic RCS can reach 1.6 dBsm at most. The dynamic RCS and noise prediction and reduction method can be meaningful for the radar-acoustic stealth design of coaxial tilt-rotor aircrafts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22249711","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,12]],"date-time":"2022-12-12T05:10:19Z","timestamp":1670821819000},"page":"9711","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Dynamic RCS and Noise Prediction and Reduction Method of Coaxial Tilt-Rotor Aircraft Based on Phase Modulation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Zeyang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautic Science and Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautic Science and Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mingxu","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautic Science and Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0572-7685","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shaoze","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aeronautic Science and Engineering, Beihang University, Beijing 100083, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1625","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cja.2020.01.002","article-title":"Application of improved active disturbance rejection control algorithm in tilt quadrotor","volume":"33","author":"Wang","year":"2020","journal-title":"Chin.
