Description
Summary:In a current project, the HPBR is being used to cycle a new SiC/SiC leading-edge airfoil between simulated idle, lift, and cruise flight conditions to determine conceptual durability and temperature benefits.[4] The second stage high pressure turbine vane of the Pegasus F402-RR-406 engine, powerplant of the U.S. Navy's Harrier fighter, was equipped with a ceramic matrix composite insert made by AlliedSignal Composites Inc. (figure 9a).
