Machines | GE Aviation and the Ceramic Matrix Composite Revolution
videos | at work | information | view | construction
GE Aviation is creating adjacent factories in Huntsville, Alabama, to mass-produce silicon carbide (SiC) materials used to manufacture ceramic matrix composite components (CMCs) for jet engines and land-based gas turbines. For more than 20 years, scientists at GE’s Global Research Centers and GE’s industrial businesses have worked to develop CMCs. In recent years, GE Aviation has made significant strides in advancing CMCs for jet propulsion. ______________________________________ Learn how GE is bringing the future of flight to today¹s aircraft when you subscribe to the GE Aviation Channel at youtube.com/user/GEAviation.

Can CMC be used in aircraft body rather than the engine? If do so....What type of CMC is suitable for aircraft body?

What would happen if you injected water in the combustor too cool and to create Steam to expand to create more pressure has Cooling does anybody have a an idea what about this what would happen if you

Bring it on! They have to be better than Rolls Royce. Their engines keep exploding...QANTAS will tell you that.

Is nitrous oxide a problem with the higher internal temperatures? Perhaps the military doesn't care, but I can see this being an issue for commercial aircraft.

After all we made jet engines
-
For jet engines rolls royce is better
-
Loads better than Ge
-
Rolls royce is better
-
This is one of my favorite GE videos.
-
The new material will have applications other than jet engines Like engine Blocks of typical ca r engines in future

Awesome, Engineering is so much fun, only limited by finance
-
i know nothing about this but what's blending? A friend told me that when you first start working at GE aviation they start you off with blending but he didn't explain to me properly so now I really want to know what that is and what you do??

inspect a 1000 dollar part with a Chinese flashlight

Wondering about doing the blocks of piston engines out of this. Also the heads of the pistons and maybe some coating for the valves. Exhaust manifolds, turbo charger components(both housing and rotor). Carbon fibre for the structure and external panels and this stuff for the hot components in auto industry. How about brake rotors, would it be good and durable? Would it withstand the stress?

For a person with a background in mechanical engineering, what will be a good starting point to learn about composite materials and their application in aerospace propulsion industry? So basically what are good sources that allows you to start learning the basics of material science and lead to understanding composite in general and Ceramic Matrix Composite in specific?
