SaM146: performance and adaptability
Eric Drouin / Safran
Safran Aircraft Engines developed and produces the SaM146 engine for the Sukhoi Superjet 100 regional jet through PowerJet, a 50/50 joint company with Russian engine-maker UEC Saturn. Right from the time it entered revenue service, the SaM146 clearly demonstrated its adaptability to all operating environments, and excellent dispatch reliability despite its intensive use.
