Overview
The AW169 fills the gap between the AW109 and AW139, with a cabin large enough for EMS stretchers and offshore crews and an auxiliary power mode that runs cabin systems with the rotors stopped.
Key points
- Shares cockpit philosophy with the AW139 and AW189
- Strong EMS and law-enforcement sales
- Competes with the H145 and Bell 429
Mission fit
Light-intermediate twin class- EMS and offshore missions needing more cabin than a light twin
- Corporate transport for six to eight passengers
- Multi-role fleets that switch between utility and passenger layouts
