{{main|Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour}}
The SEPECAT Jaguar is powered by the [[Rolls-Royce Turbomeca]] Adour [[turbofan]] engine, which was developed in parallel with, and primarily for the Jaguar. A separate partnership was formed between Rolls-Royce and Turbomeca to develop the Adour, a two-shaft turbofan engine with [[afterburner]].<ref name="JAWA80 p105"/> Twin engines were selected for survivability. Ease of maintenance was major consideration, an engine change being possible within 30 minutes. For the Jaguars it needed a low bypass capable of high thrust for take off, supersonic flight and low level "dashes".<ref>Bowman 2007, p. 19-20.</ref>

When the first prototype Jaguar flew on 8&nbsp;September&nbsp;1968, it was also the first flight for the engine.<ref name="1stFlight"/> In its initial development the Adour engine had complications with the stability of the [[afterburner]] system,<ref>Gunston, Bill. "The Phoenix of Derby." ''New Scientist'', Vol. 52, No. 773, 9 December 1971, p. 76.</ref> and shipboard testing showed slow throttle response times, problematic in the situation of an aborted landing; engine improvements rectified these problems prior to the Jaguar coming into service.<ref name="WAPJ11 p77"/> In French service, the Jaguars were introduced using the original Mk.101 engine. RAF Jaguars entered service using the Mk.102 engine, mainly featuring better afterburner-throttle control over the Mk.101.<ref>Ford, T. "Rolls-Royce Adour." ''Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology'', 51(3), 1979, pp. 2–5.</ref> The RAF later had its Jaguars re-engined around 1981 with the improved Adour Mk.104, and again in 1999 with the Mk.106, each providing greater performance.<ref name="WAPJ11 p94">Jackson 1992, p. 94.</ref><ref name = 'morebite'/>

The Adour was developed into both afterburning and non-afterburning models;<ref name = 'RR spcs'>[http://www.rolls-royce.com/defence/products/combat_jets/adour.jsp "Adour: Product Description."] ''Rolls-Royce'', Retrieved: 22 January 2011.</ref> the Hawk, which had beaten the Jaguar to fulfill the Air Staff Target 362 trainer requirement, also used the non-afterburning Adour engine.<ref name = 'RR spcs'/> Other applications include the [[McDonnell Douglas T-45 Goshawk]], the [[Mitsubishi T-2]], and derived [[Mitsubishi F-1]].<ref name="Sekigawa p130">Sekigawa 1980, p. 130.</ref>
