What is "powerjet"

PowerJet is a 50-50 joint venture held by Snecma ( Safran) and NPO Saturn, created in July 2004. The company is an engine manufacturer in charge of the management of the SaM146 program including studies, production, marketing and after-sales support. It delivers a complete propulsion system, comprising the engine, nacelle and equipment.

The SaM146 is the sole powerplant for the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100), entered into service in 2011.

Building on the experience and resources of its two founding companies, PowerJet has developed a dedicated SaM146 support organization called PowerLife™, ensuring fast and reliable access to information and assistance under any circumstances. PowerJet aims to set a new standard in customer support for regional jet engines by delivering local service to customers anywhere in the world. Through Powerlife label, the company provides a Customer Support Center, technical assistance from both parent companies, and a strong network of field representatives, based on resources already deployed by Snecma and NPO Saturn.

PowerJet has two operational units dedicated to production: one in Villaroche (France) and the other in Rybinsk (Russia).
