Turbomeca Marboré
The Turboméca Marboré was a little Turbojettriebwerk the company Turbomeca, which was produced in the 1950s to the 1970s. Most commonly it was used in the Fouga Magister and the Morane -Saulnier MS.760 "Paris". In the United States it was produced under license as Continental - Teledyne J69 for the Cessna T -37. A Spanish license production was designated as M 21.
History
The first major production version was the Marboré II, which reached a maximum thrust of 3.9 kN at the very high speed of 22.500/min. In its simplest form it was a single-shaft centrifugal compressor and single-stage Turbojettriebwerk with turbine, the fuel consumption at about 109 gal / h was. The engine was produced in several variants for military or civilian market, which differed in the oil tank design in the auxiliary systems and in the exhaust configuration. Some variants had to raise an additional axial compressor to power. All these variants differ according to the components used in their dimensions, in their weight (typically about 140 kg), and their performance.
The Marboré II were finally replaced in 1962 by the Marboré VI series, the slightly better performance (4.8 kN) was, with the fuel economy only slightly increased to 119 gal / h. This represented a 23% increase in thrust, but only a 9 percent increase in fuel consumption. As a result, the Marboré II engines were replaced by Marboré VI in a number of aircraft, which in turn made sure that the old engines were available for testing purposes on the market for little money.
The original Marboré, as well as the Marboré III, IV and V were not manufactured in large numbers. From the Marboré II were built more than 4300, and from Marboré VI almost 1200 pieces, under license from J69 more than 10,000, including more than 6900 for the target presentation and reconnaissance drones AQM -34, BQM -34, Ryan Firebee.
At the end of 2007, the maintenance of the engines and thus their civil registration in Europe was set.
