The Snecma M88 is a French afterburning turbofan engine developed by Snecma (now known as Safran Aircraft Engines) for the Dassault Rafale fighter. The program for the M88 arose from a need for a suitable propulsion system for air-superiority and ground-attack missions.

In terms of military engines, Safran Aircraft Engines produces the Snecma M88 turbofan. This engine was developed to power the Dassault Rafale fighter aircraft. [14]

Wholly designed, developed and produced by Safran Aircraft Engines, the M88 powers Dassault Aviation’s Rafale multirole fighter deployed by French armed forces and export customers.

The M88-2 engine, designed for the multirole combat aircraft Rafale, is the first in a family of new-generation engines designed to power the combat and advanced training aircraft of the 21st century.

Jan 1, 1991 · After describing the historical origins of the SNECMA M88 engine development program, the paper presents the general development planning until the production engine flight qualification at the end of 1995.

Designed and produced by Snecma, the M88 is the most compact fighter engine in its thrust class. Developing about 16,860 lb of thrust with afterburner, the M88 offers exceptionally carefree handling for all missions, thanks to its unrivaled power-to-weight ratio.

May 1, 1999 · Light and compact, the M88-2 incorpo- rates the latest technologies, developed by Snecma through extensive R&D efforts starting in the 1980s, then validat- ed by full-scale core and demonstrator engine tests.

Das Snecma M88 ist ein Mantelstromtriebwerk mit Nachbrenner, welches von Snecma für das französische Jagdflugzeug Dassault Rafale entwickelt wurde. Das Triebwerk liefert einen Schub von 50 kN bei einem Kerosinverbrauch (TSFC) von 80 g/kN⸱s sowie 75 kN bei eingeschaltetem Nachbrenner (170 g/kN⸱s).
