Vne: 168 kts
Max Cruise: 155kts
Range: 510 nm

Well done to Eurocopter, great effort to get this machine into this contract. I think its just a shame that the AW139 wasnt a bit further into its lifecycle.

I'm open to correction on this one from anyone with a better knowledge than I, but isnt the AB139 the EC155 rival and thus the Grande and Power are 145 and 135 rivals respectively?
