Re: Penn Central Post, March 1969: Metroliner article

The geared turbofan's improvements in noise, efficiency, and emissions alone are so insane the numbers don't seem to be real. I flew on an A320 with the new Pratt's a few years ago. The takeoff was unreal, it never seemed loud enough to be making any power, (and I was BEHIND) the wing), but it took off normally.

I've been on 787s too. The loudest part of those flights are the spoilers out to get the fucking thing down from 30,000 feet.
