Since its launch in 1977, 28 versions of the Arriel family have been developed to meet different airframe and

mission requirements. The Arriel 1 powers the Eurocopter BK 117 C1, Ecureuil AS 350 B2, EC 145 and the Agusta A109 K2.

Generating Power and Performance

The Arriel 1 experience
Through unmatched optimization of acceleration modes, the Arriel 1 generates lower operational costs per flight, whatever the mission profile. Arriel 1s high acceleration rate, with no surge, gives pilots the superior rapid response they expect from a Turbomeca engine. Operators appreciate Arriel 1s low oil consumption. Clean burning with significantly low NOx levels.
