The Arrius family new generation turboshafts

have been specifically developed to power light

singles and light twins. The Arrius 2F brings the
latest achievements in hydro-mechanical control
systems, leading edge materials and aerodynamic
technologies to Eurocopters EC 120 Colibri.

Generating Power and Performance

The Arrius 2F experience
Through unmatched optimization of acceleration
modes, the Arrius 2F generates lower operational costs
per flight, whatever the mission profile.
With clean burning combustion, the Arrius engine drives
the lowest smoke number ever.
Advanced hydro-mechanical fuel system.
Engine de-rated by 20-25%, reducing engine wear,
providing power reserves.
