Leonardo Aw119kx vs Leonardo Aw139 vs Leonardo Aw169 vs Leonardo Aw189 vs Leonardo Sh09

The Leonardo AW119Kx is a light single‑engine helicopter aimed at basic utility and training roles, with a typical range around 500–600 km and seating commonly around 6–7 passengers plus pilot. The AW139 is a medium twin‑engine, multi‑role workhorse (EMS, offshore, corporate) offering materially higher speed and lift, with typical range roughly 1,000–1,200 km and seating often about 12–15 passengers. The AW169 sits between light and medium twins, optimized for EMS and corporate missions, generally offering range around 800–900 km and a typical passenger fit around 8–10. The AW189 is the larger “super‑medium” twin, designed heavily around offshore and SAR, with greater payload and endurance; typical range is about 900–1,100 km (mission dependent) and cabin layouts commonly carry around 16–19 passengers. The Leonardo SH09 (formerly the Kopter/Leonardo SH09) is a new‑generation light single positioned near the AW119 class, targeting efficient utility/passenger transport; published targets are roughly in the 500–700 km range with seating typically about 8–9 including pilot, depending on configuration.
