PowerJet SaM146
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PowerJet SaM146 (Двигатель SaM146) is an engine produced by the PowerJet joint venture between Snecma and NPO Saturn. Snecma is in charge of the core engine, control system (FADEC), transmissions (accessory gearbox, transfer gearbox), overall engine integration and flight testing. NPO Saturn is responsible for the components in the low pressure section, engine installation on the Sukhoi Superjet 100 regional aircraft and ground testing.
The SaM146 was designed from the ground up to power regional jets. It offers all the advantages needed to make a very competitive entrance in this market, where customers are extremely demanding in terms of cost of ownership and dispatch reliability. The SaM146 features the latest technologies - all proven in service - so that airlines can be sure of very cost-effective commercial operation.
The SaM146 is a 14,000 to 17,500 pound thrust class engine, which means it can power an entire family of aircraft, spanning 60 to 100 seats. In April 2003, Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company selected the SaM146 for its Superjet 100 regional aircraft, to be produced in 75 and 95-seat versions.
The SaM146’s modern design is based on the CFM56 - the world’s most reliable and economical jet engine - and features a single-stage turbine. Furthermore, it was designed to meet the most stringent environmental standards, both current and the upcoming CAEP VI.
The SaM146 will be offered with an extended range of services, tailored to meet the specific requirements of each customer.
