Airbus Helicopters H155 vs Airbus Helicopters H160 vs Airbus Helicopters H175 vs Leonardo Aw109 Grand New vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Leonardo Aw169 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Leonardo Sh09

Airbus Helicopters’ H155 and H160 sit in the medium, twin‑engine class typically used for executive transport and EMS; both are usually configured around 10–12 passengers, with the H160 generally offering the longer practical range and more modern efficiency. The H175 moves up into the super‑medium category with a typical 16–18 passenger layout and longer range than H155/H160, making it more oriented to offshore and high‑payload missions. Leonardo’s AW109 GrandNew is a light, twin‑engine helicopter, commonly 6–7 passengers, with shorter range than the medium and super‑medium types but strong point‑to‑point speed for its class. The AW169 is a light‑intermediate twin, usually about 8–10 passengers, offering more cabin and range than the AW109. The AW139 is a medium twin, typically 12–15 passengers, with range broadly comparable to H155/H160 depending on fit. The AW189 is a super‑medium heavy lifter, commonly 16–19 passengers, with long range comparable to or exceeding H175 in many configurations. The Leonardo SH09 is a light single‑engine type, generally around 6 passengers, with the shortest range and payload among this group.
