How turbofan jet engines were made in the ’80s 🇬🇧 | Safran

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!

Great intro music!

[@IrnBruN2Cones]

This is a turbojet, not a turbofan.

[@fabkerfz]

Yep

[@corentinoger]

Early Hard drive at 2:54 !

[@patrickkormendy8166]

ce moteur n'étais pas plutôt un turbojet?

[@patb686]

Yeah Safran ça tousse! Je n'avais jamais entendu parler d'eux auparavant. C'est du thunderbolt engineering dans le domaine de la Gas Turbine engine! En 1983 c'est ouf comme quality control. Je n'ose même pas imaginer en '18. Ils doivent être sur la grosse fucking king coche si la business est toujours opérationnelle.

[@corentinoger]

Oui, ils existent toujours, le groupe Safran emploie presque 100 000 employés dans le monde. C'est un des plus grands groupes Français. Quand vous volez sur n'importe quel avion de ligne, vous avez la certitude qu'une bonne partie de l'avion a été fournit par eux.

C'est tout de même rageant de voir que même notre géniale industrie aéronautique et nos motoristes sont entachés par le rosbeefisme !! En plus, j'ai cru reconnaître l'accent anglais, et ça casse le côté haute technicité, même si c'était à l'époque de l'Atar 8K50 qui équipait NOTRE Mirage F1 !!
