PowerJet was a Franco-Russian 50-50 joint venture created in 2004 by aeronautical engine manufacturers Snecma (Safran) and NPO Saturn. The company was in charge of the SaM146 program – the sole powerplant for the Sukhoi Superjet 100 airliner – including design, production, marketing and after-sales support. It delivered a complete propulsion system, comprising engine, nacelle and equipment.
PowerJet had two production sites: one in Villaroche (France) and the other in Rybinsk (Russia).
