EC135 vs. A109E thread

I once read the topic of one vs. the other, and i can't seem to find it no matter what. We have 109E and we are in the process of getting 135 which i favour more, but i would like to read it all again to set the facts right.

Please help

The 135T2 is lethargic below 40 knots and its range is abysmal with 6 POB. Once above 40 knots it's nice to fly and the AP is superb.
For the work we do (corporate) I would have prefered the 109 Elite.

Engine manufacturer is yet to be determined but probably PW, as all in our fleet.

What is the difference between P&W 206B and 206C?

If i know right, B is in 135 and C in 109E.

From: After all, what’s more important than proving to someone on the internet that they’re wrong? - Manson
To be correct the 206B is in the 135P1. P2 has a 206B2 which is really a 206 with a 207 hot section.

206B/B2 compared to a C has the 26 deg angled output drive, regulated oil supply, fire detection is supplied by PWC, engine indicating hardware is supplied by PWC.

206B/B2 = 431 SHP T/O Twin engine
B = 2.5 minute OEI 573 SHP
B = Continuous OEI 493 SHP

B2 = 30 sec OEI 734 SHP
B2 = 2 minute OEI 716 SHP
B2 = Continuous OEI 493 SHP

206C = 561 SHP T/O Twin engine
C = 2.5 minute 663 SHP
C = Continuous OEI 633

Thank you RVDT!

So EC has more power in OEI and agusta has more power in transmission rating.
