This paper describes the current achievement of the research of the ceramic turbine jet engine. In this study, the ceramic turbine is applied in the aircraft gas turbine engine and the engine testing is demonstrated under full load operating conditions. The successful testing of the ceramic turbine components in the aircraft gas turbine engine has been accomplished.
