The Eurocopter AS365 is perhaps the most common model of helicopter in the air today. This mid-weight, multipurpose chopper runs on a twin-engine thats both lightweight and powerful, enabling sustained, fast flight with multiple passengers. The SA and AS class of Eurocopters are used for police and hospital use, news crews, business travel, and much more.

The particular model thats in production today is the Dauphin AS-365N-3. The version of the Eurocopter was developed specifically for hot and high circumstances, as theyre referred to. The 365N 3 is a highly upgraded version of the N 1, which was used throughout most of the 1990s in the same capacity as its successor.

The 365N 3 has Arriel 2C turboshafts that are equipped with fully automated digital electronic control (FADEC). The adoption of this turbine engine is what separates the N 3 and N 3+ series from its predecessors, and both engineers and pilots agree that its a significant improvement over previous models.
