CMC Research at NASA Glenn in 2014: Recent Progress and Plans

As part of NASA's Aeronautical Sciences project, Glenn Research Center has developed advanced fiber and matrix constituents for a 2700F CMC for turbine engine applications. Fiber, matrix and CMC development activities will be reviewed and the improvements in the properties and durability of each will be summarized. Plans for 2014 will be summarized, including fabrication and durability testing of the 2700F CMC and status updates on research collaborations underway with AFRL and DOE
