2006 Eurocopter EC 155B1
- February 8, 2023
The Eurocopter EC155 represents a major step forward from the AS365 Dauphin family that preceded it — a substantially redesigned medium twin helicopter that shares the Dauphin's fenestron tail rotor and operational heritage while delivering a significantly larger cabin, more powerful engines, and modern integrated avionics that bring it fully into the 21st-century standard for medium helicopter operation. The EC155 is the helicopter of choice for operators who need the Dauphin's proven reliability and safety credentials with the cabin volume and technology level demanded by demanding VIP, offshore, and EMS clients who will accept nothing less than the best available in its class.
The EC155's wide, flat-floor cabin — significantly roomier than the AS365 it succeeded — can accommodate up to 13 passengers in high-density configuration or six to eight passengers in premium executive layout with lie-flat seat options, full cabin management systems, and Satcom connectivity. The large panoramic windows give passengers exceptional visibility, making the EC155 a favored VIP transport for heads of state, corporate executives, and premium charter clients who expect a genuine luxury experience in the air.
The EC155's combination of twin-engine safety margins, IFR capability, all-weather certification, and spacious cabin has made it a strong performer in offshore crew transfer and EMS roles where its operational capabilities align with the highest standards operators demand. Arriel 2C2 engine enrollment on Safran HEngines Service Plus provides budget predictability and strong resale value protection.
