Belonging to the AWFamily, the AW189’s unique features include a main transmission with 50-minute run dry capability and a built-in Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) as well as the option of new Safran Aneto-1K engines to enhance hot and high performance.

The Superior Solution

The AW101 embodies advanced design and technology coupled with long range and endurance, which provide operational persistence for all missions. The versatility of the AW101 platform and a full range of on-board equipment allow operators to configure the helicopter for a wide range of roles including Maritime, Battlefield/Personnel Recovery and SAR. This mission versatility, combined with the most spacious cabin in its class featuring large side sliding doors and rear access ramp, makes the AW101 the most advanced, flexible and capable multi-role helicopter available today.

Saving lives, protecting heroes

The NH90 is the focal point of Europe’s largest helicopter programme, fulfilling the need for a versatile military asset that excels in naval and tactical roles. The twin-engine, multi-mission NH90 is a common platform with highly capable naval and tactical transport versions. The programme is led by the NHIndustries joint venture, owned by Leonardo, Airbus Helicopters and GKN Fokker.

The SW-4 meets the market need for a multi-purpose, light single-engine helicopter that combines excellent performance, flight envelope and cabin space. Thanks to its flexible characteristics, the helicopter provides a cost-effective and capable solution for utility and training operations.

Helicopter operators face constant demands to increase efficiency and cut costs. To meet this challenge, Leonardo has introduced the AWFamily of advanced helicopters: the AW169, AW139 and AW189. Each boasts high performance flight characteristics and safety features, as well as a common cockpit layout and design philosophy. The result is real cost savings in training, maintenance and support.

Mid-Life and Capability Sustainment Upgrades are a key element of Leonardo Helicopters ongoing commitent to its customers.
