Kopter Expects Versatile AW09 Helicopter To Punch Above Its Weight - AIN

The Leonardo group company is starting the type certification process for its new AW09 single-engine rotorcraft. It believes that an above-averagely spacious cabin, plus simplified operations and a reduced maintenance burden will prove attractive to a wide range of operators. These could include VIP passengers, who now have multiple cabin interior options.

Impressive specs that interior cabin space is unmatched in the single engine sub 2.5 ton class. It's closest competition i can see is another from Leonardo the AW119 followed by the Bell 407 and H130. Along with the latest from Garmin and Safran the AW09 is looking likely to be best in class.

The helicopter does seem well thought out interior . The flight deck is very clean . I really like the tail rotor design.
Single pilot I get the need given the lean operation parameters.
Just overcoming consumer ideas for two pilots as in conventional rotary aircraft experience. So guessing FAA and insurance companies will both be able to accommodate this new design.
Wishing nothing but the best for much success. Thanks
