History
SMA was founded in 1997 as a 50/50 joint venture between SOCATA and Renault Sport to develop a diesel engine for light aircraft.[3] SNECMA also entered the joint venture with a one-third interest in June 2000. The prefix of the engines changed to SR, for SNECMA-Renault.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In 2005, Safran bought out the other partners to become the sole owner of SMA.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
