Propulsion manufacturer SNECMA Moteurs has had a distinguished track record on industrial cooperation with its Indian counterparts since the early 1980s. The company had then given HAL the licence to build the Viking (Vikas) rocket engine for the PSLV satellite launch vehicle. By the late 1980s, SNECMA had teamed up with the DRDO's Bangalore-based Gas Turbine Research Establishment to co-develop the Tejas' Kaveri turbofan and supply the engine's directionally-solidified turbine blades. In 2001, SNECMA supplied three Larzac 04H20 engines to power the HAL-built HJT-36 single-engined intermediate jet trainer now being developed for the IAF. Recently, the company proposed co-developing the M53-PX3 turbofan for the Mirage 2000-9 and last June created a joint production team with HAL concerning about a dozen forged aluminium parts for the CFM56 family of turbofans. Notably, this is one of HAL's first export contracts for forge and foundry services. In addition, the Bangalore-based SNECMA Aerospace India Pvt Ltd, manned by a staff of 100, specialises in aeronautical design and onboard software development. SNECMA has also created a joint venture called PowerJet with Russia's NPO Saturn and HAL to develop the next-generation SaM-146 turbofan, which will be offered as power-plant for the four-engined Multi-Role Transport Aircraft that HAL will be co-developing with IRKUT Corp.
