    The M53-P2 engine powers all the Mirage 2000


    fighter aircraft, including the most recent
    multirole versions Mirage 2000-5 and Mirage
    2000-9. Chosen by 9 air forces on 4 continents,
    the M53-P2 is appreciated by the pilots for its
    exceptional handling characteristics due to full
    authority digital engine control (FADEC).
    Its extensive flight range from unrestricted
    flight at very low speeds up to Mach 2.2
    makes it the ideal engine for modern combat
    aircraft missions.
    Over the last few years, Snecma has introduced
    new technologies into the M53-P2 in order to
    reduce the number of engine removals and
    maintenance costs.
    Having logged more than 1,500,000 flight
    hours, the M53-P2 engine has demonstrated its
    exceptional dependability and performance in
    projected force operations.
