The Turbomeca Marboré is a small turbojet engine that was produced by Turbomeca from the 1950s into the 1970s. The most popular uses of this engine were in the Fouga CM.170 Magister and the Morane-Saulnier MS.760 Paris. It was also licensed for production in the United States as the Teledyne CAE J69. In Spain the Turbomeca model Marboré II was manufactured by ENMASA under license with the name Marboré M21.
The original Marboré, as well as Marboré III, IV, and V were not produced in significant numbers. A typical weight for this series of engines is 140 kg (310 lb). Fuel consumption is 720 L/h (160 imp gal/h; 190 gal/h) on the Marboré VI at 4,500 m (14,800 ft), as compared to 520 L/h (110 imp gal/h; 140 gal/h) on Marboré II engines (same altitude), as well as an increase of fuel consumption of 27% and a decrease in cruise range capabilities.
