An account is given of the advantages of ceramics-based materials systems in thermostructural applications in aircraft propulsion, spacecraft propulsion and power systems, aerospace (transatmospheric) vehicles, and space structures. Prototype component applications are evaluated with a view to further technical requirements entailed by the implementation of such ceramic components. Typical near-term applications are the Space Shuttle's thermal protection system and high temperature aircraft thermal insulators; a major long-term development goal is that of integrally bladed turbine rotors in aircraft gas turbines. The fiber technology required for highly loaded/high temperature operations is not yet mature; use temperatures are restricted to 1100-1300 C.
