Untitled[edit]

Why is information on this engine impossible to find? The SNECMA site talks about the engines "maneuverability"? but gives no information on it's development. The entry on Wikipedia France is even shorter than this. What I am trying to ascertain is if SNECMA have ever developed an engine from scratch. They have pinched WW2 German BMW designs, "shared development" of the Olympus with Bristol/RR, partnered GE, bought Turbomeca - but where is the design capacity?

Article name[edit]

Shouldn't this article be 'SNECMA M88' instead of Snecma M88? All other SNECMA engine articles have the acronym capitalised, why not this article? Semi-Lobster (talk) 15:46, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Becuase the company now calls itself "Snecma", and the engine the "Snecma M88". - BillCJ (talk) 15:50, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited Content[edit]

I know the bulk of the article is uncited, and needs to be corrected, but I don't think just deleting all the info is the right way to go about it. The content of the article doesn't seem contentious or make particularly outlandish claims, so I think we should assume good faith and leave the content there until it can be cited. Besides, if it's removed there is essentially no content to the article. -SidewinderX (talk) 13:28, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's nearly a year later, and citations have still not been added to the text section, though the specs are now sourced. I'm removing the uncited text again. Perhaps Janes have some info of the engine, if someone has acces to it. - BilCat (talk) 11:43, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spools[edit]

One would think the number of spools the engine is composed of would be basic, fundamental information, especially since this manufacturers previous engine, the M53 was an unsual single-spool turbofan (really more like a bleed-air turbojet thought). this is sort of like having a article all about an "six cylinder engine", giving power, torque, compression ratio, oil pressure...but never mentioning if it's an inline six or a V-6. I happen to have read that it's a twin-spool design, and that is by far the most common layout in engines of this type, but given the previous SNECMA, it ought to be stated for those who came here wondering. Also, isn't SNECMA an acronym? Have they offically changed it to "Snecma", or is that a mistake?
