Safran's Aneto-1K heli engine is certified in China
CAAC certification of the Aneto-1k paves the way for the Leonardo AW189K's introduction into the Chinese civil market.
Having received certification across Europe and Brazil, the Aneto-1K has now obtained certification in China.

Safran Helicopter Engines has received certification for its Aneto-1K from the CAA of China. This crucial milestone paves the way for the Leonardo AW189K's introduction into the Chinese civil market. This validation of type certificate by China succeeds the earlier type certificate by EASA in 2019.

"Having received certification across Europe and Brazil, the Aneto-1K has now obtained certification in China, a pivotal development in the worldwide rollout of the AW189K. Equipped with our cutting-edge engine, the AW189K is particularly well-suited for the most demanding helicopter transport missions, in the most difficult conditions," says executive vice president, programmes Valentin Safir.

The 2,500shp Aneto-1K is the first model in the Aneto engine family, covering a power range from 2,500 to 3,000shp and designed for super-medium and heavy helicopters.

Aneto engines are 25 per cent more powerful and more responsive than existing engines of the same size. This additional power margin contributes to increased helicopter capabilities during missions, such as offshore, transport, search and rescue and fire-fighting. This translates in particular into increased payload during flights in hot and high conditions.
