Technical Data
Even more power
Compared to the Super Puma MK2, the EC225 offers higher operational availability, increased payload (+15%), longer range (+5%) and faster cruising speed (+7%). This performance upgrade was achieved by replacing the MAKILA 1A2 with the new MAKILA 2A engines that develop 14% more power, by strengthening the gearbox to transmit 8% more power and by integrating the new highly aerodynamic 5-bladed Spheriflex® main rotor
