For more than 30 years, Safran Aerosystems anti-icing detection and protection systems and equipment have offered a range of innovative and reliable solutions to make flights safer, to reduce fuel consumption and to lower pilot workload.


The APIRS attitude and heading reference system provides all the necessary data to operate the aircraft or helicopter along three axes: roll, pitch and heading. These accurate and autonomous data allow flight control optimization.


Incorporating innovative propulsion technologies, the Ardiden 1H1 powers the Dhruv and LCH (Light Combat Helicopter) helicopters from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).


Incorporating innovative propulsion technologies, the Ardiden 1U powers the LUH (Light Utility Helicopter) from India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). It is a derivative of the Ardiden 1H1, and was certified in 2019 by EASA and 2021 by Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).


Intended for Russian Helicopters Ka-62, Ardiden 3G is a new generation engine certified by EASA in 2017. It is a member of the Ardiden 3 range, the only new-generation 1,700 to 2,000 shaft horse-power engine range designed for the six to nine ton helicopter.


Designed for surface vessels, from patrol boats to aircraft carriers, Argonyx™ family provides accurate attitudes & precise localization for sensors stabilization & weapons alignment, even in full GNSS denied environments.


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 15 % reduction in fuel consumption over other in-service engines.


Arriel 1E2 powers Airbus EC145, BK 117C and UH-72A Lakota. Arriel 1E2 builds on the essential characteristics of every Arriel, namely, a modular design to simplify maintenance and an efficient and robust gas generator.


The Arriel 2C / 2C2 variants power several Airbus Dauphin models: AS365N3+, l’AS565 Panther, and H155 from Airbus, Z9 manufactured by AVIC, and Korea Aerospace Industries LCH (Light Civil Helicopter).


A more recent Arriel variant, the Arriel 2D was certified in May 2011. It powers the Airbus H125 and H130. In service since 2011 on Airbus’ H125 and H130, the Arriel 2D offers extremely competitive operating costs, 10% lower in average than those of earlier variants.
