480B description

In 1993, the Enstrom 480 was introduced and the current model 480B achieved its
certification in February 2001. The 480B, which uses the venerable Rolls Royce/Allison 250C20W turbine engine, saw an increase in gross weight and useful load of 150 pounds over
the 480. As with the piston models, the 480B has no hydraulic system, simplifying
maintenance and operating costs.

The Enstrom 480B light turbine helicopter combines outstanding performance with a superior
cabin and a very low acquisition and operating cost. Exceptionally stable, easy to fly, with
wide safety margins, the 480B is well suited to a wide range of applications.

engine details

The 480B is powered by the Rolls Royce 250-C20W turbine with 420 shp rating. De-rated to 305 shp for take-off and 277 shp continuous. Significant de-rating allows hot and high operations at gross weight. The particle separator removes 93% of dust, sand or foreign objects in the air intake extending engine life.
