A European Union regulation to halt an increase in aircraft fitted with 'hush-kits' or mufflers comes into full effect on 4.5.00. The United States claims discrimination against its companies, which have pioneered hush-kits, and against its airlines. Brussels fears the US will use the hush-kits dispute to stall progress on tougher noise standards.
