The AgustaWestland AW109S Grand (also A109 Grand or simply Agusta Grand) is a lightweight, twin-engine, eight-seat multi-purpose helicopter built by the Anglo-Italian manufacturer AgustaWestland. This rotorcraft has been developed from AgustaWestland AW109 by lengthening the cabin and main rotor blades with different tip design. The Agusta Grand is fitted with two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW207C engines whereas its predecessor AW109E has two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW206C engines. It originally entered service in 1988 and has since been used in various roles, including light transport, medevac, search-and-rescue, and military roles.
The AW109 GrandNew is a derivative of the Agusta Grand, the main difference being the addition of single Instrument flight rules (IFR), TAWS and EVS avionics.
