Model 250

The Rolls-Royce Model 250 engine is the leading powerplant in its class worldwide. First certified at a rating of 317 shp, continuous improvement programs have increased the latest version’s rating to 715 shp. Virtually every turbine-powered light helicopter manufacturer produces an aircraft which offers one of the Rolls-Royce Model 250 engines. This fleet of engines has accrued in excess of 180 million fleet flight hours on over 29,000 engines delivered. The Model 250 product line enjoys continued integration of advanced turbine engine technology designed to make the Model 250 the most reliable, cost effective and durable engine in the world. In addition to the proud heritage of the Model 250, it is backed by a worldwide authorized repair and overhaul network. Model 250 customers can thus expect professional support anywhere.

Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC)

Description

The C47B/M and C40B represent the latest innovations in the Model 250 line. Incorporation of Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) reduces pilot workload and enhances overall safety through improvements in power turbine governing, and torque and temperature limiting. Maintenance costs are reduced with the incorporation of an automatic starting routine and over-temperature protection. Exceedance recording and simplified troubleshooting are also key benefits.

Features
  • Automatic starting with hot start avoidance
  • Reduces pilot workload
  • Auto-relight
  • Auto-transfer to 30 sec OEI (twin engine)
  • Selectable torque/temp matching (twin engine)
  • Isochronous governing of rotor speed
  • Local anticipation and enhanced rotor speed control
