Inscription.  German:
Das ATAR 101 ist ein Axialstrahltriebwerk, das von der französischen Firma Snecma gebaut wurde. Es wurde von Motoren und Konstruktionsarbeiten abgeleitet, die während des Zweiten Weltkriegs bei BMW in Deutschland durchgeführt wurden. Der Name leitet sich von der ursprünglichen Konstruktionsgruppe „Atelier Technique Aéronautique de Rickenbach" ab, in der Hermann Östrich und viele Mitglieder der BMW-Gasturbinen-Konstruktionsgruppe sowie andere deutsche Triebwerkskonstrukteure tätig waren. Das ATAR 101 trieb viele französische Nachkriegsflugzeuge an, darunter die Vautour II, die Étendard IV, die Super Mystère B2 und die Mirage III-001, den Prototyp der Mirage III-Serie.

Schub: 28 kN

The ATAR 101 is an axial-flow jet engine built by the French company Snecma. It was derived from engines and design work carried out at BMW in Germany during World War II. The name derives from the original design group, „Atelier Technique Aéronautique de Rickenbach", which included Hermann Östrich and many members of the BMW gas turbine design group, as well as other German engine designers. The ATAR 101 powered many French post-war aircraft, including the Vautour II, the Étendard IV, the Super Mystère B2 and the Mirage III-001, the prototype of the Mirage III series.

The SNECMA ATAR 101 is a French axial-flow turbojet engine built by SNECMA. It was derived from engines and design work carried out at BMW in Germany during World War II, and extensively developed though a progression of more powerful models. The name is derived from its original design group, Atelier Technique Aéronautique de Rickenbach employing Hermann Östrich and many of the wartime BMW gas turbine design group as well as other German engine design teams.[1] The ATAR 101 powered many of the French post-war jet aircraft, including the Vautour II, Étendard IV, Super Mystère B2, and the Mirage III-001, prototype of the Mirage III series.
