on video How turbofan jet engines were made in the ’80s




 With stunning archive images, explore in great details the complex manufacturing processes developed to build a turbofan jet engine. We take you back in time, in 1983 at Snecma’s (now Safran Aircraft Engines) facility near Paris. From there, you will witness the incredible complexity behind the manufacture of a turbofan jet engine.


From the preliminary studies, assisted with computers and magnetic memory systems, to the Gennevilliers’s drop hammer’s delivering the 80,000 kg/meter of energy needed to forge the rotor’s disks, this video precisely recounts how compressor rotors and jet engines were manufactured at Safran’s factories almost 40 years ago. We hope you enjoy the show!

Safran is an international high-technology group, operating in the aviation (propulsion, equipment and interiors), defense and space markets. Our core purpose is to contribute to a safer, more sustainable world, where air transport is more environmentally friendly, comfortable and accessible. With our skilled workforce operating on all continents, we are fully dedicated to create and develop tomorrow’s most innovative technological and industrial solutions.
