Single [R]evolution
The versatile light single-engine helicopter
Mission versatility is essential for modern helicopter operations. The AW09 is a next-generation, high performance, single-engine helicopter offering the built-in versatility to tackle multiple missions. It is developed by Kopter Group, acquired by Leonardo in 2020. Capable of carrying up to eight passengers, the AW09 delivers next-generation technology and safety allowing operators to go further and do more.
Multi-mission solution
The AW09 is optimised for numerous roles, including passenger transport, utility, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and security missions. Its combination of high cruise speed, long range and low noise profile make it a flexible and efficient solution for today’s rotary wing market.
Versatile cabin
The spacious, versatile and quiet cabin features a flat floor and high ceiling to maximise the available space, as well as individual crashworthy seats. The interior can be reconfigured quickly and easily for multi-mission operations and there are sliding and clamshell doors for easy access.
Missions & Features
Mission ready
The AW09 sets a new benchmark in the light single-engine helicopter market for passenger transport missions combining comfort, flexibility and a cabin that offers the most generous legroom in its category. Quick conversion among multiple seat layouts with up to 8 passengers is made possible, according to mission needs, thanks to the flat floor, independent crashworthy seats and largest cabin volume in its category.
Next-generation technology
The AW09 features a state-of-the-art glass cockpit with Garmin G3000H integrated flight deck for enhanced situational awareness and safety. The five-blade fully composite rotor system brings superior manoeuvrability and a smooth flight. The helicopter is powered by a Safran Arriel 2K engine, part of the field proven Arriel family, featuring next-generation technology, reduced fuel consumption and modern dual channel FADEC with auxiliary backup system.
Superior flying experience
The low vibration levels combined with powerful air conditioning and heating system guarantee a comfortable and quiet flight. The AW09’s window design offers a stunning view outside the helicopter, adding to a superior flying experience.
Mission ready
Utility operations demand both performance and flexibility. The AW09 is optimised for a range of missions from firefighting to aerial lift. The helicopter offers excellent sling-load figures and an unrivalled internal cargo capability thanks to the largest cabin volume in its class.
