Safran Helicopter Engines has received EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) Type Certification for its Arrano 1A engine, installed in the Airbus Helicopters H160. Arrano is a new generation engine in the 1,100 to 1,300 shp power range, perfectly suited for new four-to-six tonne helicopters. The H160 made its first flight with the Arrano in January 2016.
lets go for the best in arrano power range,...
H160
1300hp/5670kg = 0,23
AW169 (before the announced power boost)
1180hp/4800kg = 0,25
after power boost 1324hp/4800 = 0,28
after expected mtom increase
1324hp/5000 = 0,26
Using the increased GW for H160 calcs makes it a 412 “killer” material.
