Abstract
The objectives of the German R+D Program 1974–1980 concerning the application of ceramic components in a vehicular gas turbine are – among others –: service temperatures of 1350 °C to gain higher efficiency, a low fuel consumption and more flexibility in type of fuels. The goals can be achieved by introducing new ceramic materials, advanced manufacturing techniques, and new design methods.Gas turbine engineers, mechanical engineers, and ceramic materials scientists from industry and research institutions cooperate very closely to meet these goals.
