The new-generation EC130 B4 is a light, single-engine helicopter with all the latest technology and a roomy, modular cabin that can seat 1 pilot plus 7 passengers.
Its Fenestron® tail rotor and automatic rotor speed control result in a significantly reduced operating noise level. Reliable power is provided by the Turbomeca Arriel 2 turbine engine including a dual-channel FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) with a third independant back-up channel. Integrated VFR equipment coupled with a Global Positioning System (GPS) is fitted as standard for day and night missions. All EC130 B4 systems are very easy to maintain.

This proven and reliable component has
an automatic variable speed control
system that systematically adapts the
rating of the main rotor to the flight
phase in order to reduce the external
noise level, without jeopardizing available
power.
Composite main Rotor blades
