Snecma designs and produces commercial engines that are leaders in their thrust class, such as the CFM56, the world’s best selling and most reliable commercial aircraft engine.
Snecma is also a partner to General Electric on various large turbofan engines: the CF6, the GE90 and GE90-115B and the GP7200.
Snecma is active in all three segments of the military aircraft market – combat, training and transport – with the M88-2 (Rafale), the M53-P2 (Mirage), the Larzac® for trainer aircraft and the TP400-D6 turboprop engine for the A400M military transport aircraft.

The largest of these (which weighed over 50% more than the C.450) was calculated to fly beyond Mach 2, with a 285 m/s climb rate at 2 km altitude, and be able to climb from 1 km to 15 km altitude in 35 s.
These projects were not pursued, however, because SNECMA did not have engines in the right thrust class for these aircraft.
SNECMA designed a flying jeep called Pégase (Pegasus) around 1963, similar to the Breguet flying jeeps.

 Centre Spatial Guyanais - SNECMA - Division Moteurs-Fusées
SNECMA - Division Moteurs Fusées - formerly SEP (Société Européenne de Propulsion ceased to exist as an independent organisation when it merged with SNECMA, the major aeronautics group), is a group of 22000 employees.
Since Ariane was created in 1973, and throughout its evolution up to the current version of Ariane 4, SEP and SNECMA have been the successive prime contractors for the development and improvement of the engines and propulsion systems of all liquid-propellant stages of the launcher.
Today, SNECMA is responsible for the production of engines, for the supply of the associated equipment and for the construction of the 1st stage propulsion bay, a platform on which 4 boosters are mounted, and which constitutes the base of the entire launcher.

 Asian Aerospace 2004: Snecma now set for sale   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Snecma logged E5.4 billions ($6.9 billion) in orders last year, which was almost unchanged on the 2002 total of E5.3 billion ($6.8 billion).
Snecma, he said, had “examined the project but had decided not to go ahead,” on that grounds that an alliance with a systems integrator like Thales is “neither useful nor necessary” for Snecma and it risked jeopardizing its commercial relationship with other systems integrators and customers.
According to Snecma, the CFM56 engine powers half of the 704 Chinese Airbus and Boeing 100-plus-seater jetliners, while about one in three of all 100-plus-seat commercial aircraft flying in China is equipped with Messier-Dowty landing gear.

 Aviation International News | New business jet engine in the works at Snecma   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
To achieve its performance goals, Snecma is drawing on two sources: its extensive low-pressure system experience with the CFM56 civil turbofan, which in its various guises has accumulated more than 300 million hours of flying time, and its high- pressure expertise from its military engine programs and the DEM21 core demonstrator.
The latter is at the heart of the 13,000- to 18,000-pound thrust SM-146 turbofan Snecma is developing with Russia’s NPO Saturn for the new Russian Regional Jet.
Snecma will no doubt consult sister company Turbomeca for its small engines centrifugal compressor experience from the helicopter powerplant field.
