Power range 1,300 shp

Two-stage centrifugal compressor Compact and efficient

Giratory combustion chamber Highly fuel efficient

3D-printed fuel injector nozzles World first

Fourth-generation Fadec Advanced engine monitoring

Arrano 1A is a new generation engine in the 1,100 to 1,300 shp power range. It powers Airbus H160. Arrano integrates the best in aero-engine technologies and offers 18% reduction in fuel consumption over other in-service engines. The Arrano received its EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) certification in June 2019.

Reduced environmental footprint: 18% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emssions over other in-service engines

-40% maintenance time: components and accessories are easy to access, disassemble and exchange

Connected engine with digital services: it benefits from new digital services from Safran Helicopter Engines

Innovative architecture

The innovative architecture of the Arrano and its digital control system provide remarkable responsiveness and contribute to the H160's safety and manoeuvrability. The engine has been designed with simplified maintenance in mind, with modern, connected diagnostic tools for ever-greater precision and reliability.

Its electronic control system can communicate securely with the new digital services offered by Safran Helicopter Engines.

Arrano combines a highly efficient two-stage centrifugal compressor, developed within the European Clean Sky program, with new-design variable inlet guide vanes (IGV). Through improving the engine’s thermal efficiency, these components contribute to reducing CO2 emissions by 18%, over other in-service engines.
