EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the XVIIIeme Salon Aeronautique du Paris 1949 at the Grand Palais in central Paris, the powerful SNECMA ATAR 101B turbojet engine takes center stage. The Salon Aeronautique, an annual aviation exhibition, was held at the Grand Palais from 1909 to 1982, showcasing the latest advancements in aviation technology. In 1949, flying demonstrations of the ATAR 101B engine were presented at Orly Airport, drawing crowds of aviation enthusiasts. The SNECMA ATAR 101B, manufactured by the Société nationale d'Études et de construction de moteurs d'aviation (SNECMA), was a significant development in jet engine technology. The engine, designed by Atelier Technique Aeronautique de Rickenbach, was a single-shaft axial-flow turbojet engine, characterized by its sleek and compact design. The ATAR 101B was a major improvement over earlier jet engines, offering increased thrust and efficiency. The photograph captures the intricacies of the engine's design, with its complex array of turbines, compressors, and combustion chambers. The engine's metallic surface gleams under the bright lights of the exhibition hall, highlighting its precision engineering. The surrounding crowd of onlookers adds a sense of excitement and anticipation, as they witness the future of aviation technology unfold before their eyes. The SNECMA ATAR 101B engine would go on to power various military and civilian aircraft, including the Sud Aviation Caravelle jetliner and the Dassault Mystère IV fighter jet. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the aviation industry in the late 1940s, as it pushed the boundaries of what was possible in aircraft propulsion.
