Efficiency Without Compromise
Despite its generous cabin dimensions and mission-ready flexibility, the AW09 retains the economic advantages of a single-engine platform. With operating costs comparable to legacy aircrafts in the same weight class, the AW09 empowers HEMS operators to expand their capabilities without inflating budgets by delivering a future-ready platform.
Fuel efficiency, simplified maintenance procedures, and reduced logistical overhead allow operators to deliver high-quality care while maintaining strict financial discipline — especially important in today’s cost-sensitive healthcare and public service environments. The AW09 offers one of the most cost-effective solutions in the turbine single-engine market, enabling sustainable fleet expansion and long-term program growth. Its composite airframe further supports cost-effectiveness through enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and reduced weight — leading to longer life cycles and fewer maintenance intervals.
Advanced Avionics and Pilot-Centric Design
For pilots, the AW09 is more than capable; it’s intuitive, responsive, and built for the mission. The cockpit is equipped with the Garmin G3000H integrated avionics suite featuring a large touchscreen interface, synthetic vision, advanced navigation tools, and real-time terrain awareness. This technology significantly reduces workload, improves decision- making, and enhances overall flight safety — especially during high-stress medical missions in poor weather or complex terrain.
The AW09 also features a five-blade elastomeric main rotor and shrouded tail rotor. Both contribute to a smoother ride, reduced vibration, and lower acoustic footprint. These benefits are particularly valuable in urban environments where noise sensitivity and ride quality are essential for both patient care and community relations.
Future-Ready Architecture and User- Driven Design
Unlike legacy platforms that have been retrofitted for EMS, the AW09 was built from the ground up with operator feedback — including that of EMS professionals who understand the real- world demands of medical flight.
Its open architecture design allows for future upgrades and mission-specific customization, ensuring that the aircraft evolves with emerging technology and regulatory changes. Whether your operation
needs custom equipment
racks, integrated communication systems or specific power supply configurations, the AW09 is ready to adapt.
The Smarter Choice for Evolving EMS Needs
The Leonardo AW09 represents a bold leap forward for HEMS providers seeking to balance cost, performance, and clinical capability. It brings the interior volume and clinical access of a twin-engine helicopter, the economic footprint of a single-engine aircraft, and the flexibility to operate in both dense urban settings and remote locations.
For EMS organizations ready to modernize their fleet or expand services without escalating operational costs, the AW09 offers a future-ready solution that doesn’t compromise on care, safety, or capability.
