The AW169 is part of AgustaWestland’s family of
new generation helicopters that includes the
AW139 and AW189 models. These helicopters all
possess the same high performance flight
characteristics and safety features whilst
sharing the same common cockpit concept and
design philosophy.
This approach will deliver real cost
savings in areas such as training, maintenance
and support for operators having two or three of
the models in their fleets.
Launched in July 2010, the AW169 has rapidly
found market success, logging orders for more
than 70 units so far from customers in North &
South America, Asia, Middle East, Europe and
Australasia for a wide range of missions
including air ambulance, law enforcement,
corporate transport, utility and offshore
transport.
A versatile, new generation twin engine
helicopter, the AW169 has been designed in
response to the growing market demand for an
aircraft that delivers high performance, meets
all the latest safety standards and has
multi-role capabilities. It is the first all new
helicopter design in its class in decades and
the only one that will meet all the latest
safety requirements.
