This 11 ton helicopter benefits from the proven experience of the Super Puma family and integrates all the latest technological innovations.
The 2 new Turbomeca Makila 2A engines, the improved main gear box, the highly aerodynamic efficient 5-bladed rotor gives this machine more power, increased payload, longer range and faster cruise speed. Its maximum flight endurance is close to 5 hours.
The EC225 also features significant advances in terms of man-machine interface with state of the art avionics and a brand new cockpit layout. Most of all, this new aircraft meets the latest JAR 29 amendments, including the "flaw damage tolerance" requirements for the main helicopter components (rotor and fuselage).
The EC225 also offers better comfort for passengers and aircrew. It features a very large useful volume and accomodates various seating arrangements up to 24 passengers. Vibration levels have been significantly reduced as well as noise level, giving the passengers the impression of flying in a commercial jet. All these characteristics make this new generation aircraft highly versatile to carry out missions from Offshore Transport, Search and Rescue Operations to Executive Transport.
