The Larzac® jet engine, rated at 13 to 14 kN of thrust (2,920 to 3,147 lb), is designed for trainers and light tactical support aircraft.
Developed jointly by Snecma and Turbomeca, the Larzac® has always powered the French-German Alpha Jet, today used by 13 air forces worldwide to train their pilots.
More than 1,250 Larzac engines are now in service, logging over 3 million flight-hours.
The Larzac®’s modular design means that the engine has been continuously upgraded, while maintaining its carefree handling, low fuel consumption and high dispatch reliability. Furthermore, it is fully suited to integrated logistics support (ILS), streamlining maintenance to reduce the total cost of ownership.
The French air force plans to keep its Alpha Jets in service until 2015.
