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.
