The AgustaWestland AW109S Grand represents a lightweight, twin-engine helicopter designed to accommodate up to eight passengers, produced by the Italian firm AgustaWestland. This model is an evolution of the AgustaWestland AW109, featuring an extended cabin and main rotor blades with redesigned tips. Unlike its predecessor, the AW109E, which is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW206C engines, the Grand utilizes a pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW207C powerplants. Since its introduction into service in 2005, this versatile aircraft has been deployed across various functions such as light transportation, medical evacuation, search and rescue missions, and military operations.
