Scottish Aviation Jetstream T Mk. I, Brooklands Museum. An excellent design, this navigation trainer for the RAF had French Turbomeca Astazou turboprops. I used to see this particular aircraft most days at RAF Finningley. #RAF #Jetstream #Turbomeca #turboprop #BrooklandsMuseum #aircraft #trainer

Probably the most adorable jet aircraft ever produced in France, the SIPA S.200 ‘Minijet’.
It was a two-seater training prototype equipped with a Turbomeca Palas turbojet engine.
In 1952, it was the smallest two-seater jet aircraft in the world.

Fouga CM.88 'Gémeaux' is a French twin fuselages flying testbed designed from the Fouga 'Sylphe' in the early 1950s. It was used for the development of Turbomeca turbojet engines such as the Marboré.
It was the first aircraft in the world to fly with a turbofan engine (Aspin I).

First prototype of the ‘Voltigeur’ from 1958, a three-seater anti-guerrilla warfare aircraft.
The 2nd prototype, no longer equipped with a piston engine but with 2 Turboméca “Bastan” engines, broke up in flight during its seventh flight on 9 January 1959, killing its entire crew.

The Breguet Br.1100 was the big brother of the better-known Br.1001 ‘Taon’; it was developed in 1957.
Fitted with 2 Turbomeca Gabizo engines, the aircraft was not selected, with the Étendard IV being chosen instead. It served as the basis for the ‘Jaguar’.

The Fouga CM-82 "Lutin" was a 1951 project for a single-seat ground attack aircraft of the simplest possible design equipped with two Turbomeca Marbore turbojet engines in pods.
The project was cancelled to allow the design office to concentrate on the Magister.

The Nord 3600 was a project studied by Nord Aviation in the mid-1960s to meet the ECAT programme’s requirement for a combat and tactical support trainer.
It was to be powered by two Turbomeca “Tourmalet” turbojet engines. Neither the aircraft nor the engine ever progressed beyond the design stage.

Well, Safran is also the right partner for this, considering they are making jet engines and turboshafts. The Turbomeca Adour turbofan that is used in a bunch of jet trainiers and bigger drones is still in production at Safran.

Or the Turbomeca Larzac, although I don't know if Safran is still making those. The main advantage of the Ivchenko AI-25 currently in use on the FP-5 is that Motor Sich in Ukraine is still able to produce new ones.
