Today I am going to tell you in greater depth cómo serán go próWe are getting to the countryís Airbus Helicopters H225 Super Puma of the Ejéecuadorian rcito. Foto referencial Airbus Helicopters
The arrival of new and modern equipment for the Ejérecite and its aviation branchón, which to improveá widely its operational capacity in service of the país and weeks agoás publicé about the news that the first unit of 5 equipment was already flying.
This news generatedó many reactions, the great majoría of joyífor the electionónumber of aircraft úlatest technologyía, but a few others totally negative, but due to ignoranceás what else: They're Old, They are from the 70s, technologyíobsolete, They are donation junkón y así, a long list of wrong data that I am going to review today (deny).
El Airbus Helicopters H225 Super Puma
Días atráI was in FIDAE 2024 and I was able to interview Dominique Andreani, Vice-president of Marketing and Sales Airbus Helicopters in Latinérich and among other topics, we talk about the great Super Puma H225, which should not be confused with the H215 nor with the versionón histórich from the 70s, más known as Aérospatiale SA 330 and its later variants.
Airbus Helicopters has a wide range of products, one of them is the modern H225, the verseón más new Super Puma, with an ancestorónica única, más aids to the pilots and a power plant úlast generationón más efficient and powerful.
Please inform usón is very clear, They are different teams and the H225 is inspired by the legendary SA332, Indeed Ecuador It is already operating and there is one left in service, but the ones we will receive are the úlatest technologyía, thoseí, not to beán new of fábrica, since they are bought second-hand with a few hours of flight, but I'm not old from the 70s either.
Now let's talk about technologyía, to verify that they are not helicalóobsolete pteros, For this we must start talking about this helixóptero continues to be producedítoday and is an evolving programón constant since 2004 when it was introduced.
The H225 is presented as the evolutionódefinitive n of the family Super Puma, incorporating a series of significant improvements that make it a benchmark in the aero industryáutica. Among the main innovations that distinguish it from its predecessors are:
- Diseño modular: The structure of the H225 is based on a modular concept, making maintenance and repair easierón of its mechanical componentsánicos. This translates into greater operational efficiency and a reductionón of the costs associated with the life cycle of the propelleróptero.
- Composite materials: In the constructionóIn H225, extensive use has been made of composite materials, such as carbon fiber and kevlar. These materials offer greater resistance and lightness compared toón with traditional materials, which results in better aerodynamic performanceámico and higher load capacity úto.
- Aviómodernized unique: The H225 cabin isá equipped with avióunique of úlast generationón, including multifunction displaysón LCD and monitoring systemsóvehicle numberíglasses. These systems provide the pilot with informationón complete and accurate information on the status of the propelleróptero, increasing safety and efficiency of operations.
- Automatic flight control systemático (AFCS): The H225 features a sophisticated automatic flight control system.ático (AFCS) which lightens the pilot's workload and improves accuracy.óflight number, especially in weather conditionsáadverse ethics.
- main rotor 5 palas: Unlike its predecessors, which had a main rotor of 4 palas, The H225 incorporates a main rotor of 5 palas. This new designño provides greater stability, reduces the level of vibrations and improves aerodynamic efficiencyáhelic micaóptero.

Like the úlast additionón to the Super Puma family, The H225 is recognized for its high performance in challenging conditions, así as for its excellent range and loading capacity úto. The H225 has benefited from the políAirbus Helicopters continuous improvement ethic. Now it isá equipped with new aviónica, including screens más available on the market and an innovative interface that, combined with its renowned autopilotático, reduces pilot workload and allows them to focus on the missionón in questionón.
Offering the best reach, speed, load úusefulness and reliability of the industry in the propellerócategory twin-engine pteroíto of 11 tons, the H225 offers exceptional resistance and ráask for cruising speed, and can be equipped with various equipment to suit a variety of functions.
I hope nowí it is clear that as país, we have incorporated the best for the missions required by the Armed Forces. ¡We hope to see you soon in the país!
