GAS-TURBINE PLANTS; AIR INTAKES FOR JET-PROPULSION PLANTS; CONTROLLING FUEL SUPPLY IN AIR-BREATHING JET-PROPULSION PLANTS (construction of turbines F01D; jet-propulsion plants F02K; construction of compressors or fans F04; generating combustion products of high pressure or high velocity F23R; using gas turbines in compression refrigeration plants F25B11/00)

Description

F02C covers gas-turbine engines and jet-propulsion systems, including their air intake designs and fuel control mechanisms. This subclass encompasses turbine plant configurations, compressor and combustor arrangements, and systems for regulating fuel delivery in air-breathing jet engines across aircraft and industrial applications. It addresses the complete thermodynamic cycle management and component integration typical of gas turbine powerplants, excluding detailed designs of individual turbine stages or combustor internals that may fall under more specific subdivisions.
