I'm not that sure about the noise issue in the 'Condor', I once traveled to Mallorca inside a DC-9, the seat was close to turbines, noise, I'd say above regulations, impaired talking, I was in the central seat, but the window seat was given to a professional piano playera, on his way to a concert. Turbines envisaged for IA-46 Condor had a centrífugal compresor, too wide, low efficiency. The Spanish INTA patentes 2 turbines, one of Whittle type, including Wifredo Ricart in application, the other with an oblique compresor, Heinkel type, development discontinued, a prototype is on Museo del Aire, Cuatro Vientos, Madrid, from a 'política conflict', I'd say 'conflict of interest', same could be behind 'revolución libertadora', these were the days of Sud-Aviation Caravelle.
