====Boeing 787 Dreamliner==== {{Main|Boeing 787 Dreamliner}} ATK participated in a consortium to develop a new engine nozzle for the Boeing 787 designed to make its operation more environmentally friendly. The nozzle was made from oxide-oxide ceramic matrix composite (CMC) and tested on the 787 [[ecoDemonstrator]]. Boeing's tests show that the nozzle is more heat resistant than previous models and lighter, allowing for potential gains in fuel efficiency. This was the largest part ever made from CMC.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://aviationweek.com/blog/boeing-s-787-ecodemonstrator-goes-work|title=Boeing's 787 ecoDemonstrator goes to work|access-date=June 12, 2015|archive-date=October 19, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151019070806/http://aviationweek.com/blog/boeing-s-787-ecodemonstrator-goes-work|url-status=dead}}</ref>
