The AW609 is a revolution in point-to-point aerial transportation, combining the speed, range, and comfort of a fixed-wing airplane with the convenience and flexibility of a helicopter. The AW609 TiltRotor is ideally suited to a wide range of missions including VIP and Executive Transport, Parapublic, Medical and Rescue Services and Energy Services, delivering an unprecedented level of performance. Flying at almost twice the speed of a conventional helicopter, the AW609 features a comfortable pressurised cabin designed for cruising efficiently at 25,000 ft. Digital VFR/IFR avionics feature triple-redundant fly‑by‑wire controls to reduce pilot workload and maximise situational awareness. The AW609 is designed for flight into known icing conditions and meets the highest FAA requirements for both fixed-wing airplanes and helicopters including single-engine operation and autorotation. Mission ready In time-critical scenarios the AW609’s combination of fixed and rotary-wing performance greatly improves response times and coverage area during Search and Rescue (SAR) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) missions. Its speed and range easily overcome the challenge of distance for rapid transport of patients or organs to medical centres. Outstanding technology and safety The AW609’s advanced Night-Vision Goggle (NVG) compatible Collins Aerospace Pro Line Fusion avionics, with three touchscreen displays, enable greater situational awareness, while the fully digital, triple redundant fly-by-wire flight control system reduces pilot workload.
