Main description

Faster, Further, Safer.
Eurocopter is proud to present the new addition to the Super Puma helicopter product line – the high performance EC225. This 11 ton helicopter benefits from the proven experience of the Super Puma family and integrates all the latest technological innovations. The 2 new TURBOMECA MAKILA 2A engines, the improved main gear box, the new highly aerodynamic efficient 5-bladed rotor gives this machine more power, increased payload, longer range and faster cruise speed.

• Offshore Mission

  

  The EC225’s reliability is the result  of Super Puma’s long experience in oil and gas industry: so far offshore operators have cumulated 8,000 flight hours. And the integration of the latest technologies makes this new generation aircraft the leader in the field of flight safety. It is designed with flaw damage tolerant components (rotor and fuselage). Its state-of-the-art avionics considerably reduces the pilot’s workload and thus enhances safety. So that the EC225 complies with the latest JAR29 amendments.
  

• Executive transport Mission

  Outstanding comfort

  Over the past two decades, Eurocopter has built-up a worldwide reputation in designing and producing executives helicopters.
  Many Head of States and corporate executives selected the Super Puma family for its outstanding qualities. The EC 225 continues this tradition while offering a higher speed, longer range and more comfort. The vibration level has been significantly reduced thanks to the new 5-bladed rotor and state-of-the-art anti vibration system.
  The enhanced soundproofing and the efficient air conditioning system will give passengers the impression they are on board a business jet.

  The highly spacious cabin (15,50 m3) lends itself particularly well to the transport of executives. Various layouts are possible with front and rear lounges, galleys and bathrooms for carrying 8 to 12 passengers + 1 cabin attendant.

  

  

• SAR Mission

  Unique SAR capabilities

  The EC225 benefits from the Super Puma family’s experience in Search and Rescue operations and also from the recent launching of the EC725, specially developed to perform the demanding CSAR mission in the French Air Force. The result of this is a highly reliable machine able to fly further and faster than any other aircraft in the11 ton category, in optimal safety conditions. The EC225 is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment such as navigation precision (sensors, inertia reference system…) or detection device (FLIR, RADAR). Its high stability allows for efficient hoisting operations. It can be equipped with a rotor de-icing system to fly under all-weather conditions.
