EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the XVIIIeme Salon Aeronautique du Paris 1949, held at the Grand Palais in central Paris, a SNECMA 14R 14-cylinder air-cooled radial powerplant unit takes center stage. The Salon Aeronautique was a prestigious annual aviation exhibition that showcased the latest advancements in aviation technology, and the SNECMA 14R was a major attraction. The SNECMA 14R, manufactured by Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Nord et du Midouin, was a powerful and advanced engine that was pre-assembled for ease of replacement. The engine's 14 cylinders were arranged in a radial configuration, and it was air-cooled, making it well-suited for use in aircraft that operated in harsh environments or at high altitudes. Flying demonstrations of aircraft equipped with the SNECMA 14R engines were held at Orly Airport during the Salon Aeronautique, providing attendees with an opportunity to witness the engine's impressive performance firsthand. The engine's robust design and high power output made it a popular choice for military and civilian aviation applications. This photograph captures the SNECMA 14R powerplant unit on display at the Grand Palais, surrounded by curious onlookers and aviation enthusiasts. The engine's sleek design and intricate details are on full display, offering a glimpse into the advanced engineering and technology that powered the aviation industry in the late 1940s. The Salon Aeronautique du Paris was an important platform for showcasing new technologies and innovations, and the SNECMA 14R was a standout attraction that helped shape the future of aviation.
