METI Projects to Support the Advancement of Strategic Core Technologies
“Development of Production Process of SiC/SiC composites for High Efficiency Aircraft Engine”

Project Leader：Mr. Yonezo Miyamoto, Marui Orimono Co.,Ltd.
Sub-Project Leader：Assoc. Prof. Tatsuya Hinoki
Project Period：FY2017 ‒ FY2019

It is expected to utilize SiC/SiC composites for the next generation aircraft engine material due to light weight and high temperature mechanical properties. The project aims to develop the superior material to a conventional material in terms of high temperature mechanical properties and low cost. The project includes development of weaving technique of SiC fibers, prepreg sheet, shaping, production process and evaluation technique.
