Design and Powerplant
- Engines (Customer Choice): Two Turbomeca Arrius 2B2 Plus (T3 variant) OR Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW206B3 (P3 variant) turboshaft engines.
- Power Output: Approximately 492 kW to 528 kW (660 shp to 708 shp) per engine (dependent on model and power setting).
- Tail Rotor: Features the signature Fenestron shrouded tail rotor, which contributes significantly to safety (especially on the ground) and low noise levels.
- Avionics: Modern variants feature the Helionix avionics suite with a full glass cockpit, a 4-axis Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS), and simplified engine/flight management (First Limit Indicator – FLI).
- Safety Features: Crashworthy fuel system, high-set main rotor, and Category A (full flight envelope One-Engine Inoperative) performance capability.
- Cabin Access: Wide, unobstructed cabin with large side-sliding doors and rear clamshell doors, making it ideal for stretcher loading in EMS roles.
Performance and Capabilities
- Maximum Speed (Vne): Up to 287 km/h (178 mph, 155 knots).
- Cruise Speed: Approximately 254 km/h (158 mph, 137 knots).
- Service Ceiling: 6,096 m (20,000 ft).
- Maximum Range: Up to 635 km (395 mi, 343 nautical miles).
- Endurance: Maximum endurance up to 3 hours 36 minutes.
- Rate of Climb: Approximately 7.62 m/s (1,500 ft/min).
- Mission Versatility: Highly valued for its performance in “hot and high” conditions and its ability to perform high-safety, single-pilot Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) missions.
