ATK affiliate COI Ceramics will develop and demonstrate a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) exhaust nozzle, under a contract from Boeing Research & Technology.

The project will form a part of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) continuous lower energy, emissions and noise (CLEEN) programme.

Boeing and the FAA are working together to speed the development and application of environmentally progressive technologies to produce cleaner and quieter commercial jet aircraft.

More-efficient engines powering the aircraft require exhaust materials capable of withstanding higher temperatures than the steel used in today’s commercial jet engines.

ATK’s CMCs are as light as aluminum and can withstand temperatures over 1,500°F whilst helping to improve acoustic performance.

Boeing technologies being developed under the CLEEN programme will be flight tested aboard two demonstration vehicles in 2012 and in 2013.
