This introductory article provides the background for the September 2003 issue of MRS Bulletin on Ultrahigh-Temperature Materials for Jet Engines. It covers the need for these materials, the history of their development, and current challenges driving continued research and development. The individual articles that follow review achievements in four different material classes (three in situ composites—based on molybdenum silicide, niobium silicide, and silicon carbide, respectively—and high-melting-point platinum-group-metal alloys), as well as advances in coating systems developed both for oxidation protection and as thermal barriers. The articles serve as a benchmark to illustrate the progress made to date and the challenges ahead for ultrahigh-temperature jet-engine materials.
