The significantly improvement in the "DAUPHIN" AS 365N3 performance is mainly due to the adoption of the lastest TURBOMECA Arriel 2C turbine engine.
This increase in power can be used in warm weather or at high altitude to increase the heli-copter's Take-Off weight significantly.
The Arriel 2C is 18% more powerful than the Arriel 1C2 which fits the N2 version.
This engine is equipped with an Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC).
This multipurpose helicopter features the very latest technological innovation such as the 5-bladed Spheriflex main rotor and an outstanding autopilot.
The EC155B1 can reach the lowest external noise level in its category. It benefits from an integrated flight and display concept (MEGHAS). Both engines are equipped with a Full Authority Digital Electronic Control (FADEC).
