Research abstract
Advanced rocket and airbreathing engine technologies suitable for Generation 2 and 3 space access vehicles will require composite materials capable of tolerating moist oxidizing high pressure combustion atmospheres resulting in composite surface temperatures in excess of 1950 Celsius. Furthermore, these materials must demonstrate high strength and stiffness and long useful life under these conditions. RCI and PC propose to develop suitable interface and matrix technologies to enable suitable CMC materials to be developed.
