The Arriel 2 turboshaft engine features a very simple design, with a reduced number of parts and only five modules for easy maintenance. It capitalizes on the experience and know-how gained with the Arriel 1 family. The Arriel 2 has a TBO (Time Between Overhaul) of 3,500 hours. The Arriel 2B powers the single-engine Eurocopter AS 350 B3 Ecureuil, capable of carrying 6 passengers. This helicopter is designed to operate under high altitude and hot temperature conditions. The Arriel 2B1 powers the latest member of the Eurocopter family, the single-engine EC 130 B4. This new helicopter can seat 6 or 7 passengers. It features a dual-channel Electronic Engine Control Unit (EECU) with manual backup. | Take-off Power | 632 kW / 848 shp | | Max continuous | 544 kW / 730 shp | | OEI 30 sec | 610 kW / 818 shp | | OEI 2 min | 590 kW / 791 shp | | OEI continuous | 540 kW / 724 shp |
