Pulsejets?

SNECMA did some really interesting work on valveless pulsejets in the 50s, producing some of the most advanced designs that exist even up to this day. Something about it probably ought to be added. At least one of these engine designs made it onto a production target drone, while another is notable for having powered a manned test-bed aircraft, which is pretty rare for pulsejets. Unfortunately, I don't really have the time or inclination to be the one to write this up, and even if I did, I don't have information on the larger context, just a bit on a few specific engines. That's what I was hopping to find here, actually. 64.201.235.139 (talk) 06:31, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Question

I am trying to find out if SNECMA have ever designed an engine themselves. They have used WW2 German BMW designs for many military aircraft engines for decades (Atar). They partnered Bristol/RR on the Concorde's Olympus. They partnered GE on the CFM56. They bought the only real French engine company, Turbomeca. Details of the development of the M53, the engine for the Mirage 2000 and the M88, the engine for the Rafale, are nonexistent. They do not seem to live up to their name! They seem to be a State Equity Fund.

SNECMA bought the licence for the BMW 003 but as they did change it radically, it could be argued they created another engine from an existant one. To one extend, we could be asking the same question of almost if not all aircraft engine companies of the world, as they all took existant patern from a previous engine made by another company.90.9.154.189 (talk) 15:24, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

"Société nationale d'études et de construction de moteurs d'aviation" or "SNECMA" was the name given to the former Gnome et Rhône company after it was nationalised in 1945. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.10.163 (talk) 18:28, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
