AgustaWestland is promoting its AW helicopter family, which includes the AW169, AW139, and AW189 models. The family shares a common design philosophy, cabin layout, cockpit concept, and approach to safety to provide familiarity across models. This commonality allows for reductions in maintenance costs, training time, and parts commonality of up to 20-40% compared to separate helicopter fleets. The family approach provides value to operators through lower operating costs and optimized resource usage.
3. Avionics & System Integration
The undisputed market leader in the intermediate
category
The AW139
Transmissions
Decades of experience and continuously leading the way
Recently demonstrated 50 minutes ‘dry-run’ capability for
the AW189 Main Gear Box

TO BE ALWAYS AGUSTAWESTLAND,
THE FORERUNNER IN THE
ROTORCRAFT INDUSTRY …THE FIRST
Project Zero
Revolutionary all-electric technology incubator
Designed, built and tested in 12 months
5. THE FIRST TO INTRODUCE
AgustaWestland is the first rotorcraft manufacturer to
introduce a complete family of advanced helicopter
Although different in size, from the light intermediate to
the medium weight category, the AW169, the AW139
and the AW189 share the same design philosophy
The AW Family helicopters are multi-role platforms
optimised to lead in a variety of roles
Thanks to maintenance, training and technological
commonalities the AW Family reset the rule in effective
helicopter fleet management
