Know which model you are choosing

The model and its relatives

Agusta A109

Agusta began deliveries in 1976. The family later developed through Power and Grand versions with different engines and cabin details; the figures here represent an early A109A Mk II configuration.

Agusta AW109 Power

The AW109 Power combines twin engines with a compact executive cabin. It is useful for quick transfers where a larger helicopter is unnecessary.

Agusta A109S Grand

The A109S Grand adds passenger space to the compact A109 concept. Its longer cabin is useful for executive transfers with five or six passengers.

Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

The A109 first flew in 1971 and marked an important change for Agusta: it was an Italian-designed twin-engine helicopter rather than a licensed foreign design. Its streamlined body, four-blade rotor and retractable wheels gave it a recognisable identity. The same basic idea supported passenger transport, medical work and later executive versions with more refined interiors.

Before you choose

Can I stand upright in the cabin?

The cabin is lower than 180 cm, so a person of that height cannot stand fully upright. The scaled illustration shows the difference. Maximum cabin height: 1.28 m.

Will my helicopter have this exact interior?

Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.
