HELICOPTER DIVISION

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY ADVANTAGE Finmeccanica Helicopter Division is the first rotorcraft manufacturer to introduce a “Family” of 3 advanced helicopters - the AW169, AW139 and AW189. From the light intermediate to the super medium weight category the AWFamily provides the advantage of a common design philosophy across a range of platforms. The multi-role AWFamily of helicopters serves a wide range of missions minimises operating costs and enhances operational flexibility. Maintenance, training and technological commonalities reset the standard in effective helicopter fleet management

COMMON COCKPIT CONCEPT The AW169, AW139 and AW189 provide excellent external visibility and share an ergonomically designed full digital glass cockpit, where information is presented using a common methodology. The common layout of relevant flight data affords pilots familiarity across the range, minimises workload, optimises concentration on task and allows a faster reaction in any condition. COMMONALITIES IN TRAINING The common design across the AWFamily leads to the optimisation of training for pilots with previous experience on one platform. Simulators are based on the same technology...

COMMON EXTERNAL ARCHITECTURE The distinctive shape of the AW169, AW139 and AW189 is derived from a common streamlined aerodynamic design with retractable wheeled landing gears to reduce drag and enhance cruise speed. High main and tail rotors increase safety on the ground and reduced external dimensions minimise the total footprint of the helicopters. COMMON PERFORMANCE The AW169, AW139 and AW189 are all designed to deliver excellent performance in the most demanding operating conditions and in the harshest of environments. The exceptional performance across the fleet means that flying...

COMMON CABIN DESIGN AWFamily helicopters benefit from the same cabin design philosophy. Large interior volumes and the constant height of the cabins enable an unobstructed and spacious environment, maximising working space and passenger comfort. The common internal architecture includes a flat ceiling and floor, allowing efficient use of the full area and facilitates rapid role reconfiguration, enhancing mission flexibility. All AWFamily helicopters share ease of access for crew to the cockpit and baggage compartment and for passengers to the cabin via large sliding doors. Weight Category 2...
