AS355
The AS355 combines the compact Ecureuil cabin with two engines. It is a useful small-group transfer option when twin-engine operation is preferred.
A closer look at the cabin
Example interior. Colours, seating and equipment vary by helicopter.
Why consider this model?
How much space?
People and cabin dimensions share one scale. The cabin outline is illustrative. The layout is an example, not the seat map of the helicopter in your quote.
Room for your luggage
0.93 m³ of baggage space.
* Indicative estimate based on published baggage volume, for medium suitcases around 65 × 45 × 25 cm. Compartment shape, door openings, baggage weight and flight load can reduce the number. We confirm your luggage for the aircraft offered.
Skis, golf bags or extra luggage?
Include the number and dimensions of bulky items in your request. Long items need a separate check.
Helicopter specifications
Helicopter range is a planning reference and may be quoted without fuel reserves. Passenger weight, baggage, landing-site conditions and required reserves determine the usable route.
The model and its relatives
AS355
The twin-engine Ecureuil entered service around 1980 and evolved through several versions. The later NP improved engine and transmission performance; it is the reference version used here.
Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved
The AS355 brought two engines to the compact Ecureuil concept. It retained much of the single-engine family’s passenger format while offering a different propulsion arrangement for operators whose missions called for a light twin. Several engine and equipment generations followed. This is why the broad AS355 name covers helicopters with different capabilities, even when their cabins look alike.

Before you choose
Can I stand upright in the cabin?
The cabin is lower than 180 cm, so a person of that height cannot stand fully upright. The scaled illustration shows the difference. Maximum cabin height: 1.30 m.
Will my helicopter have this exact interior?
Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.
