ABOUT THE COVER
Thermal barrier coatings are used throughout the hot section of modern aero gas turbine
engines on heat shields, nozzle guide vanes, blades, augmenters, and other parts. Augmenters
are used almost exclusively onmilitary aircraft turbine engines including the F100 engine that
powers F15 and F16military aircraft. Shown here is an F100 engine in a test cell.
