Popis: A review of the recent advances on acoustic cloaking for airborne sound is here reported. It is shown that engineering acoustic cloaks based on transformation acoustics has a main drawback: there are no passive materials for increasing the sound speed with respect to that of air at room temperature. Such limitation is here overcome by introducing a cloaking shell with a temperature gradient. We also describe the design, fabrication and characterization of two-dimensional and three-dimensional axisymmetric acoustic cloaks based on scattering cancellation. The broadband and omnidirectional operation of these cloaks remain as a challenge for the future.
