Leonardo Aw109 Trekker vs Leonardo Aw119kx vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Leonardo Aw169 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Leonardo Sh09

The Leonardo AW109 Trekker is a light twin in the entry category, typically used for short to medium missions with a modest range and a small cabin suited to roughly 6–7 passengers. The AW119Kx is a light single; it generally offers similar mission radius to other light helicopters but trades twin-engine redundancy for simplicity and lower operating costs, carrying about 6–7 passengers depending on layout. The AW139 is a medium twin with longer legs and a much larger cabin, commonly configured around 12–15 passengers. The AW169 sits between light and medium as an intermediate twin, offering range and cabin volume above the AW109/AW119 class and typically seating about 8–10 passengers. The AW189 is a super-medium twin optimized for longer-range transport (including offshore roles), with capacity often around 16–19 passengers. The SH09 (formerly Swedish Helicopter Corporation) is a modern light single concept/aircraft class, aimed at short to medium missions with a small cabin broadly comparable to other light singles, typically around 6–7 passengers.
