Airbus Helicopters / AS365
AS365 Dauphin is an important chapter in European helicopter history. His recognisable body and Fenestron met in a variety of passenger and special programs.
About the manufacturer 
01 / Model history
Dauphin has many options, so the overall figure in the directory is easily misleading. Even two similar machines can have different equipment, history and operational limitations.
If the interest is related to the purchase or use today, it is better to start with a specific board: age, service, availability of parts and compliance with modern route requirements.
02 / Manufacturer data
AS365 Dauphin is a historic twin-engine family with passenger and special versions. There are too many differences inside it to honestly give everyone one set of flight numbers.
Airbus, report on the latest Dauphin delivery in 2022. The given speed and duration apply only to the specified AS365 N3, not to the entire family.
Dauphin was used in passenger, rescue and government operations. Fenestron's closed steering screw has become one of the recognizable features of the family.
The last serial delivery Airbus announced in 2022. This makes the support of a particular instance and its history especially important when choosing.
For the AS365 N3 with long-range tanks, Airbus indicated up to three and a half hours of flight. Such an indicator should not appear in the early Dauphin card as a universal characteristic.
Request a full index of modifications, engine, fuel equipment and cabin documents. Only after that it makes sense to calculate the route and compare with modern models.
