Abstract: As part of NASA’s Aeronautics research, Glenn Research Center has developed SiC/SiC Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) for 2700 degrees Fahrenheit turbine engine applications in the next generation of ultra-efficient aircraft. In this presentation, the development of fiber and matrix constituents and fabrication processes that enabled this advancement will be reviewed, and characterization of the resulting improvements in CMC mechanical properties and durability will be summarized. Progress towa…
