The Pyrenees-based Snecma subsidiary also certificated the new Makila 2A at 2,100shp (1,565kW), a 14% power increase over the original engine. The engine powers the Eurocopter EC225 and the first example was deliv ered in July. Expansion in the USA continued with the addition of 1,400m2 (15,000ft2) to the Turbomeca facility at Grand Prairie, Texas, where the company produces 50% of its worldwide output of Arriel engines. Turbomeca has increased its fleet of engines powering North American helicopter operators by 30% in the last five years. In November, the com pany signed a deal with Japan's Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries to repair and overhaul the Arriel 2 engine powering Sikorsky S-76++ helicopters, while in Europe Turbomeca increased the number of operators using its engines to 680 with the signing of deals to power the EC135 with Austria's OAMTC and the Czech Republic police force. Turbomeca is also developing the all-new Ardiden turboshaft for 5-6.5t helicopters, plugging the gap between the Arriel and Makila engines. The first application is the Indian Druv helicopter devel oped by Hindustan Aeronautics.

As a result, Walter has achieved a significant penetration of the all-important US mar ket, which now accounts for the vast majority of sales. This has bought its own problems recently with the decline of the US dollar reducing profits by 30%, but the company remains optimistic and con tinues developing the highly successful Walter M601 range.

The 3,000lb-thrust class (13kN) engine is believed to be the first US Federal Aviation Administration-cer tificated powerplant under 6,400lb of thrust to incorporate a dual-channel full-authority digital engine control system. A variant of the -3A is also planned for the Citation CJ2+, while the CJ1 + will use the FJ44-1AP This has an all-new fan and will pro vide up to 2,000lb take-off thrust as well as a 12% increase in thrust at altitude while reducing cruise fuel consumption by around 5%. Certification testing of the 1,570lb-thrust FJ33-4Ar15 for the very light jet market is also complete. This is earmarked for the Adam A700, Diamond Aircraft D-Jet and ATG Javelin.
