AgustaWestland AW109S Grand



The AgustaWestland AW109S Grand (also A109 Grand or simply Agusta Grand) is a lightweight, twin-engine, eight-seat multi-purpose helicopter built by the Anglo-Italian manufacturer AgustaWestland. This rotorcraft has been developed from AgustaWestland AW109 by lengthening the cabin and main rotor blades with different tip design. Agusta Grand is fitted with two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW207C engines whereas its predecessor AW109 has two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW206C engines. Agusta Grand originally entered service in 1988 and has since been used in various roles, including light transport, medevac, search-and-rescue, and military roles.

The AW109 GrandNew is a derivative of the Agusta Grand, the main difference being single IFR, TAWS and EVS.
