AS350 B2

The Reference
in Single-Engine Helicopters

The multipurpose, single-engine AS350 B2, powered by a 732 shp

(546 kW) Turbomeca Arriel 1D1 engine, has an outstanding proven
track record. Its flexibility and low acquisition cost have made it a
very sought-after helicopter capable of performing a wide range
of missions, including passenger transportation, aerial work,
training, observation, fire fighting, and law enforcement, among
others. With its spacious and comfortable cabin accommodating
one pilot plus up to 6 passengers, the AS350 B2 is especially
appreciated for its passenger transportation capabilities for VIP
missions, tourist flights, and public service tasks. Furthermore, its
wide cabin and panoramic view ensures optimum visibility for
both passengers and crew.
The AS350 B2 is an excellent utility helicopter able to carry
external load of more than 1 ton (2,200 lbs). Thanks to its high
useful load, it is well suited for all missions requiring various types
of equipment, especially for police, news gathering, medical
transportation and utility operations. And with a very short
reconfiguration time (less than one hour), this single-engine
aircraft is able to complete various missions quickly and efficiently.

Technology

Ahead of its Time

The AS350 B2 is equipped with an innovative,

advanced, corrosion-free Starflex rotor and main and tail
rotor blades which are made entirely of composite
materials. In addition, these composite components are
very reliable: The main rotor blades, for example, have
a service life of up to 20,000 hours.
The cabin is made of thermoplastic double fuselage and
an extremely resistant light alloy frame.
The Turbomeca Arriel 1D1 turbine combines high
performance, low fuel consumption and very easy
maintenance. The use of modular elements makes it
possible to replace mechanical sub-units directly in the
field.
The AS350 B2 shares common cockpit features with
other members of the Ecureuil family: It has, for
example, a new control panel console technology
also used by the EC130 B4, with new circuit breakers
replacing former fuses, as well as a new instrument
panel identical to that of the AS350 B3, including a
Vehicle and Engine Multifunction Display (VEMD) and
integrated instrumentation, which enables pilots to see
at a glance the main vehicle and engine parameters
on a dual LCD screen.
