    Safran équipera les hélicoptères H160M Guépard de l’armée française et les H160 de la Gendarmerie nationale

    Dans le cadre de la commande par l'Etat français de 169 hélicoptères militaires H160M Guépard et de 10 hélicoptères H160 pour la Gendarmerie nationale, Safran fournira, notamment, la motorisation, avec l'Arrano, un moteur de nouvelle génération d'une puissance de 1300 cv qui intègre « le meilleur de la technologie en matière de moteurs aéronautiques », souligne le groupe. L'Arrano offre une consommation en carburant réduite d'environ 20% par rapport aux moteurs des hélicoptères qu'il va remplacer dans les forces françaises, et peut incorporer jusqu'à 50% de carburant d'aviation durable (SAF), précise Safran. Autre équipement majeur, le système optronique Euroflir 410, qui apportera « des performances d'observation inégalées aux hélicoptères », gr'ce à un champ de vision large et une observation très longue portée. Safran équipera également les hélicoptères de systèmes performants nécessaires au pilotage et à la stabilité de l'aéronef, dont les actionneurs électromécaniques TRIM et SEMA (Smart Electro Mechanical Actuator) ainsi que des éléments de cockpit et les systèmes d'essuie-glace, et la distribution électrique. Il fournira également les systèmes de sécurité (systèmes de flottabilités, radeaux de sauvetage), de gestion du carburant et de refroidissement. Aerobuzz du 15 janvier
