Description:
The Rolls-Royce/Allison Model 250 is a compact turboshaft engine designed to power both civil and military helicopters. Developing between 420 and 715 shat-horse-power and featuring a two-shaft modular design. It was originally developed as the T63 to meet the requirements of the US Army for a small turboshaft engine. Rolls-Royce has delivered nearly 30,000 Model 250 engines which have logged over 160 million flight hours. Currently, there are 16,000 Model 250 engines in service. Rolls-Royce has developed turboprop, generators and turbojet applications based on the Model 250 design.
Currently, the Model 250 is available in Series II and Series IV both equipped with FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) control. The Series II Model 250-C20 engine powers the Bell 206B, TH-67, MD-500, MD520N, AS355 and BO105 helicopters. The Model 250-C20R is an improved version featuring enhanced performance and economy. Series IV turboshafts (Model 250-C30/C40/C47) provide up to 715-shp and power the Bell 206L, Bell 407, Bell 430, MD530 and MD600N helicopters.
