Arrius 2E, the Airbus H140 engine

The Arrius 2E is the most advanced model of the Arrius family. This 700 shp power class engine powers the Airbus H140, a new 3-tonne class light twin-engine helicopter.

The Arrius 2E benefits from innovative technologies developed on the Arriel 2E and Arrano 1A engines (respectively powering the H145 and H160 helicopters) improving its operability and competitiveness. A redesign of the hot section allows an additional 10% of power compared to previous generations of the Arrius 2 engine. The association of the latest dual-channel FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) with a state-of-the-art engine control system brings reliability and availability to the next level. The Arrius 2E also features additive manufactured parts, including the HMU (Hydro-Mechanical Unit), decreasing the overall weight of the engine while increasing the performance of this key equipment.

Thanks to these improvements, the Arrius 2E benefits from reduced operating costs and a light maintenance schedule displaying a TBO (Time Between Overhaul) of no less than 5,000 hours at entry into service.
