SaM146

Proven technologies

Its architecture is derived from the industry-leading CFM56 turbofan, meaning that the SaM146 benefits from Safran Aircraft Engines’ top technologies, in particular 3D aerodynamic design. Because of these advanced technologies, coupled with fewer stages, the SaM146 offers significant advantages* in terms of fuel consumption, environmental footprint and maintenance. *Compared to other current engines in its thrust class.
