Safran is a leading international high-technology group and a Tier-1 supplier of systems and equipment for
aerospace, defense and security. Safran’s global presence enhances its competitiveness and allows it to build
industrial and commercial relations with the world’s leading prime contractors and operators, while providing
fast local service to customers everywhere. Working alone or in partnership, Safran holds world or European
leadership positions in its core markets.
Safran’s aerospace business covers the entire life cycle of engines, propulsion systems and equipment for both
civil and military airplanes and helicopters: design, production, sales, testing, maintenance, repair and overhaul
(MRO). Our systems and equipment are an integral part of today’s leading aircraft, whether produced in Europe,

Tomorrow’s challenges
Our Research & Technology efforts address a number of issues, including the rising cost of energy and
raw materials, growing air traffic and the resulting
airport congestion, an increased need for faster and more
secure travel and transactions, and the interoperability
of defense systems. Another imperative is environmental
protection, which must go hand in hand with the need to
reduce operating costs.
Our R&T objectives include the reduction of fuel
consumption, greenhouse gases and noise, along with
the development of greener operations and integrating
the entire life cycle right from product design.
