The article proposes the concept of acoustic design of propeller-driven fixed wing aircraft, i.e., taking into account the required acoustic characteristics. The scheme of research and development work at various stage of the project necessary for the implementation of this concept is proposed. A schematic diagram of computational studies in the framework of the acoustic design process of propeller-driven fixed-wing aircraft is proposed. A schematic diagram of the choice of a propeller-driven power plant is considered, taking into account the required acoustic characteristics.
