Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are among advanced materials that have been identified as a key material system for improving the thrust-to-weight ratio of high-performance aircraft engines. The present paper describes the potential application of ceramic matrix composites to aero-engine components by reviewing the related published papers and our experience in this field. It contains the material requirements for aero-engines, trends in aero-engine materials use; Japanese projects related to ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) and potential application of CMCs to aero-engines, such as combustors, nozzle flaps, bladed disks and others. From the point of application to aero-engines, the remaining research and development issues are discussed to some extent. Material developments, particularly of the interface and fibers for high temperature, are still required and stressed.
