Main description

The best medium twin of the next decades.
Designed with our customers, the EC175 sets new standards for all your missions.
Ingeniously optimized.
Extensive end-user advice combined with the latest generation computer aided design and virtual simulation mock-up were essential to the optimization of the EC175. Result? It is the roomiest, safest, most comfortable, easiest to fly, cheapest to maintain, most cost-effective 7-ton robust workhorse in the world.

The EC175 is powered by proven and reliable Pratt & Whitney PT6C engines.
The five-bladed main rotor and three-bladed tail rotor have new-generation blade profiles and tips.
These not only offer a reduction in vibration and noise, but also provide improved lift and speed.

The Spheriflex®-design, bearingless rotor head is damage tolerant.

The EC175’s all-new main gearbox has two accessory gearboxes for double redundancy and is capable of 30-min flight after total loss of oil. De-clutch capability gives Auxiliary Power Unit benefits without the cost and weight of an additional APU.

The under floor fuel system has a four-tank standard configuration carrying more than 600 US gals (2,300 liters).
One optional auxiliary fuel tank adds more than 90 US gals (almost 350 liters) for long range missions. The fuel system offers ground pressure refueling capability and is designed for safety with its simple architecture.
