The AgustaWestland AW109 Grand, a stretched variant of the successful AW109 series, represented a significant advancement in twin-engine light helicopters when it entered service in 2005. Based on the original A109 design that first flew on August 4, 1971, the Grand featured an extended cabin and enlarged main rotor blades to accommodate 6-7 passengers plus 1-2 crew members. With its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW207C turboshaft engines producing 735 horsepower each, the aircraft stretched 42 feet 6 inches in length with a main rotor diameter of 35 feet 6 inches. Originally manufactured by Agusta and later AgustaWestland, now Leonardo Helicopters, the type continues in production today.
