Aircraft Gas Turbine Engine

Aircraft gas turbine engines are a type of engine used to power aircraft. They are classified under the supply class "Gas Turbines And Jet Engines, Aircraft, Prime Moving; And Components" in the supply group "Engines, Turbines, And Components."

Gas turbine engines work by compressing air and mixing it with fuel, which is then ignited to create a high-pressure and high-velocity gas flow. This gas flow passes through a turbine, which extracts energy to drive the compressor and any other necessary components, such as generators or propellers.

Aircraft gas turbine engines are commonly used in commercial airliners, military aircraft, and other types of aircraft. They provide high power-to-weight ratios, allowing for efficient and reliable propulsion. These engines are designed to operate at high altitudes and speeds, and they are capable of producing thrust to propel the aircraft forward.

In addition to the engine itself, the supply class "Gas Turbines And Jet Engines, Aircraft, Prime Moving; And Components" includes various components and accessories related to aircraft gas turbine engines. This may include fuel systems, ignition systems, exhaust systems, cooling systems, and other related components.

Overall, aircraft gas turbine engines are crucial for the operation of aircraft, providing the necessary power and propulsion to enable flight.
