Abstract:
This paper discusses the results of the trade study conducted under the Army ManTech-sponsored CH-47 Ceramic Matrix Composite Exhaust Duct Manufacturing Development Program. The program established a baseline using a metallic exhaust duct and compared its weight, cost, manufacturing processes, and ballistic performance to an exhaust duct designed with oxide-oxide ceramic matrix composites (CMCs).
