Aircraft Sound Effects

Aircraft sound effects for anything that flies. Loud, mostly. Fighter jets taxiing out and tearing past, and a jump jet hovering in place. Military helicopters and missiles. A jump plane climbing with skydivers on board, then the parachute snapping open. Passenger cabins on long flights, and even a toy quadcopter buzzing round the room.

Jets are the loud end. A Fighter at idle has a high, piercing whine, and on Takeoff the noise turns into a crackling roar that shakes the windows. Flybys recorded at airfields bring the doppler and the long rumble after it. A hovering jump jet is something else entirely, a steady howl that just sits there. The skydiving recordings are a nice surprise, with the plane and the canopy snapping open both covered. Military collections add cockpit alarms and missile launches for war games.
