Airbus To Deliver First Upgraded H225 at Year-end
Airframer drops improved Turbomeca Makila 2B engine, thus limiting weight increase.
Airbus Helicopters is no longer integrating the improved Turbomeca Makila 2B engine into the H225; instead it is keeping the current Makila 2A1. Its mtow, however, is being increased from 24,229 pounds to 24,581 pounds, allowing an additional fuel tank to be carried. (Photo: Anthony Pecchi/Airbus)
