Description

The AW119 Kx is the latest enhanced version of the A119 Koala single-engine helicopter with state-of-the-art integrated avionics bringing this model to a new digital era while keeping the outstanding performance, cabin space and payload characteristics of the rugged AW119Ke. The new aircraft features the Garmin G1000H glass integrated flight deck system and the very latest avionics, including synthetic vision, moving map, highway in the sky and obstacle/terrain avoidance systems, to improve situational awareness and increase safety. The aircraft is powered by a single PT6B-37A Pratt & Whitney turbine rated at 1,002-shp developing a maximum speed of 152 knots (282 km/h). The AW119Kx has the most spacious cabin in its category and with its separate cabin and cockpit areas provides true cabin class comfort. Critical systems redundancies similar to twin-engine helicopters provide high levels of safety. In addition, the AW119 Kx helicopter is well suited for law enforcement, offshore applications, fire fighting and emergency medical services. AgustaWestland unveiled its AW119 Kx helicopter at Air Medical Transport Conference (AMTC) in Seattle, USA, in October 2012. AgustaWestland plans to achieve type certification in the first quarter of 2013. The first customer for the AW119Kx is Life Flight Network, which is set to receive all of the 15 units ordered for its air medical helicopter transportation requirement during 2013.
