1940s French turbojet engine

Piméné
Type	Turbojet
National origin	France
Manufacturer	Turbomeca
First run	1948

TheTurbomeca Piméné was a small Frenchturbojet engine produced byTurbomeca in the early 1950s.^[1]

First shown at the 1949Paris Air Show this engine passed official type tests in 1950.^[2] A similar, but not directly related, smallerturboshaft, known as theTurbomeca Orédon, drove analternator and was used as an aircraftauxiliary power unit,^[3]

Variants

[edit]

TR-011: small 0.785 kN (176 lb_f) turbojet engine, precursor to theOrédon APU.^[4]^[5]
Piméné: enlarged 1.079 kN (243 lb_f) higher mass flow development of the TR-011 / Orédon.^[5]
