The SNECMA M45, also called the SNECMA Mars, was a turbojet engine designed and produced by SNECMA in France during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The M45 was the precursor to a family of turbojet and turbofan engines, culminating in the collaborative Rolls-Royce/SNECMA M45H, high bypass turbofan engine.
