NATO Supply Class 2840 is a classification used by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to categorize gas turbines and jet engines, specifically those used in aircraft as prime movers. This class also includes the components associated with these engines.

The purpose of this classification is to provide a standardized system for the identification and categorization of military equipment and supplies. By organizing items into specific classes and groups, NATO aims to facilitate logistics, procurement, and interoperability among member nations.

Gas turbines and jet engines in this class are typically used to power aircraft, providing the necessary thrust for propulsion. These engines are designed to operate under high temperatures and pressures, and they are crucial for the performance and efficiency of military aircraft.

Components included in this class can vary but generally encompass parts and accessories that are directly related to gas turbines and jet engines. This may include items such as fuel systems, exhaust systems, air intake systems, combustion chambers, and engine controls.

NATO Supply Class 2840 falls under NATO Supply Group 28, which is dedicated to engines, turbines, and their components. This group encompasses a wide range of equipment used in military applications, including land, sea, and air vehicles.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 2840 plays a vital role in the standardization and organization of gas turbines and jet engines used in military aircraft, ensuring efficient logistics and interoperability among NATO member nations.
