Certified in January 2013 by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the Arriel 2E is an 894 shp turboshaft that delivers over 20 per cent more power than the Arriel 1E2 fitted to the original EC145.
The primary focus of its activities is on the development of new, lighter-weight, more temperature-resistant materials and improved aerodynamics for second-generation geared turbofan engines.
It has received approval on its Digital to Analog Converter and Airborne Data Link Processor, and Type Certificate approval of its ARINC-to-NMEA 183 converter.
The enhanced capability of the PW306D1 engine, Cessna’s widest fuselage aircraft design, combined with a 2500nm range (4630 kilometers) performance provides outstanding comfort, value and productivity.
