  • Method of forming a flexible insulation blanket having a ceramic matrix composite outer layer
    Patent number: 6866733
    Abstract: A flexible insulation blanket having a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) outer layer, and a method of producing a flexible insulation blanket having a smooth, aerodynamically suitable, outer surface by infiltrating ceramic material within the outer ceramic fabric layer of the flexible insulation blanket and curing the ceramic material to form a CMC layer. The CMC layer is cured while the blanket is under compression such that the resulting CMC layer has a smooth surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 1, 2003
    Date of Patent: March 15, 2005
    Assignee: The Boeing Company
    Inventors: Jerry Denham, Robert A. Dichiara, Jr., Vann Heng, Leanne L. Lehman, David Zorger
