Ceramic aerogels with low dielectric are attractive due to its lightweight and ultralow thermal conductivity, while it can withstand complex mechanical loads and thermal shock for the randoms/windows of aerospace. In this work, Si3N4 nanowires were assembled as basic building blocks to fabricate the nanostructure-based ultralight ceramic aerogels by freeze-drying and subsequent heat treatment method. The SiO2 shell was formed on the surface of Si3N4 nanowire core and the Si3N4/SiO2 interface was applied to improve the mechanical and thermal insulation performance. Thanks to the core–shell structure of Si3N4@SiO2 nanowire (SSN) and the ultra-high porosity, the as-obtained Si3N4@SiO2 nanowire aerogels display robust mechanical and thermal stability, the compress strength up to 27.1 kPa, and the compress strength up to 4.6 kPa even after heat treatment up to 1300 °C for 9000 s. The compress strength retention rate is 58% for SSN aerogel after oxidation for 9000 s. The SSN aerogel also features low thermal conductivity of 0.029 W·m–1·K–1 at room temperature. Furthermore, the dielectric property of SSN aerogel is low (an ultra-low real permittivity (ε′) of 1.02–1.04, the dielectric loss of 2 × 10–3). This robust material system is ideal for thermal insulation for the randoms/windows of aerospace.
