FSC 2840: Gas Turbines and Jet Engines, Aircraft
Federal Supply Class (FSC) 2840 covers gas turbines and jet engines for aircraft. These flight engines are stocked under NSN and built to stringent airworthiness standards.
Aircraft gas turbine engines provide the thrust that powers jet aircraft and many helicopters. Engine reliability is central to flight safety and mission capability.
Common types include turbojet, turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines. Engines are built from titanium, nickel superalloys, and advanced coatings to MIL-SPEC airworthiness requirements.
