The Turbomeca (Safran) Arriel 2E engine, has-been certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The Arriel 2E, with a take-off power of 950 shp, will power the Eurocopter EC 145T2 helicopter. The first entry into engines service is scheduled end of 2013.

This follows the certification of the Arriel 2D in May 2011, to power the Eurocopter helicopters EC130T2 and AS350B3e.

Low operating Costs
The Arriel 2E benefits from new technology (new axial compressor, new blade material, etc..) In a proven engine. This new engine offers better performance with lower fuel consumption specific, resulting and to lower operating costs.

Its modular design, combined with a Higher TBO (Time Between Overhaul), up to 4.000 hours at entry into service, then up to the goal of 6.000 hours at maturity, allow a simplified service at low cost.

High reliability
The Arriel 2E engine is controlled by a new-generation dual-channel FADEC, a benchmark for efficient power control, pilot’s workload Reducing and Increasing safety.
The new Engine Data Recorder shifts the emphasis from further Top traditional to preventive maintenance. aussi These innovations drastically Reduce unscheduled removals and Significantly Improve helicopter availability.

High performance
The Increased thermal power, the new design Many components of icts of icts Already Enhances high performance and Ensures que le Arriel Remains The most reliable engine in its class.

Since 1978, Turbomeca has-beens Producing over 10.000 Arriel engines. The Arriel family flying records total 37 Million flying hours with 1.300 customers in 110 countries.
