Model 250-C40B turboshaft engine

Features Improved flowpath provides superior hot/high performance Greater cycle life turbine components lower direct operating cost FADEC system provides: reduced pilot workload automatic starting improved power turbine governing temperature or torque matching Worldwide authorized repair and overhaul network

Description The C40B represents the latest addition to the venerable Model 250 engine line. Certified as the exclusive powerplant for the Bell Helicopter Textron Model 430, the C40B provides unequaled power, performance, and enhanced safety for this class of helicopter. In fact, for his recordsetting around-the-world flight, Ron Bower chose none-other than the C40B-powered Bell 430 helicopter. Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) equipped, the C40B provides automatic starting, reduced pilot workload, isochronous rotor speed governing, and automatic engine data recording. Numerous improvements to increase both cyclic life and time between overhauls have led to reduced operating costs. C40B operators also benefit from the Rolls-Royce worldwide authorized repair and overhaul network.
