The F414 CMC test -- which endured 500 grueling cycles – validated the unprecedented temperature and durability capabilities of turbine blades made from lightweight, heat-resistant CMCs, allowing for expansive deployment of the advanced manufacturing material in GE’s adaptive cycle combat engine and next-gen commercial engines.

Maybe they figured out how to keep the Coffee Mug from breaking ???
