34 Brazilian Army AS365K Panther helicopters with
new engines and avionics.
The modification, will take place at a rate of four
helicopters per year between 2011 and 2021, and
should extend the fleet’s service life by at least
25 years.
Eurocopter did not disclose the value of the contract
but said that it is Helibras’ largest service contract to
date.
The Helibras Engineering Center will equip the Panther
fleet with new Turbomeca Arriel 2C2 CG engines with
full authority digital engine control, Rockwell Collins’
Pro Line 21 digital radio communications systems, and
a glass cockpit with enlarged primary flight navigation,
tactical and other displays.
