The Garrett Turbine Engine Company/Ford Advanced Gas Turbine Program, designated AGT101, came to an end in June 1987. During this ceramic technology program, ceramic components were exposed to over 250 h of engine test. The 85-h test of the all-ceramic hot section to 1204C (2200F) was a significant accomplishment. However, this AGT101 test program also identified ceramic technology challenges that require continued development. These technology challenges are the basis for the five-year Advanced Turbine Technology Applications Project (ATTAP), which began in Aug. 1987. The objectives of this program are discussed, they include: further development of analytical tools for ceramic component design utilizing the evolving ceramic material properties data base; establishment of improved processes for fabricating advanced ceramic components; development of improved procedures for testing ceramic components and test verification of design methods; and evaluation of ceramic component reliability and durability in an engine environment.
