AgustaWestland AW139: Air Green’s Premier Helicopter for High-Altitude Excellence

The AgustaWestland AW139, a symbol of advanced aeronautical engineering and design, has become a cornerstone in Air Green’s fleet. Known for its versatility, performance, and safety features, the AW139 is the epitome of modern helicopter technology, serving various roles with efficiency and reliability.

The AW139, produced by AgustaWestland (now Leonardo Helicopters), first took to the skies in 2001. Since then, it has garnered a reputation as one of the most successful and widely used medium-lift helicopters globally. With its twin-engine configuration and state-of-the-art avionics, the AW139 is designed to perform in diverse and demanding environments, from urban landscapes to rugged mountains.

Air Green’s Adoption of the AW139:

Air Green, an Italian helicopter service provider specializing in high-altitude rescue and air ambulance operations, adopted the AW139 to enhance its operational capabilities. The decision was driven by the helicopter’s exceptional performance characteristics, including its ability to operate at high altitudes and in harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for missions in the Alps and other mountainous regions.

Design and Performance:

The AW139 boasts a sleek, modern design coupled with advanced technology. It is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67C turboshaft engines, providing a maximum speed of 167 knots (310 km/h) and a range of up to 675 nautical miles (1,250 km). This power allows the AW139 to perform a variety of missions, from search and rescue (SAR) to offshore transport and medical evacuation.

One of the standout features of the AW139 is its spacious and configurable cabin, which can be adapted to carry up to 15 passengers or equipped with specialized medical equipment for air ambulance services. The helicopter also features a fully integrated avionics suite, enhancing situational awareness and reducing pilot workload.

Safety and Innovation:

Safety is paramount in the design of the AW139. It incorporates numerous safety features, such as a robust airframe, energy-absorbing landing gear, and advanced avionics systems, including terrain awareness and warning systems (TAWS) and traffic collision avoidance systems (TCAS). These features ensure that the AW139 can operate safely in challenging conditions, a crucial factor for Air Green’s high-altitude missions.

High-Altitude Capabilities:

Air Green’s operations often involve flying in mountainous regions where altitude and weather pose significant challenges. The AW139’s high-altitude performance is a game-changer in this regard. Its powerful engines and advanced rotor system allow it to maintain excellent performance even at high elevations, where thinner air can impact lift and engine power.

Mission Versatility:

The AW139’s versatility is one of its greatest strengths. For Air Green, this means the ability to switch seamlessly between different types of missions. Whether performing emergency medical services (EMS), search and rescue (SAR), firefighting, or corporate transport, the AW139 excels in all roles. Its quick-change interior and external hoist system make it particularly effective for SAR missions, where time and flexibility are critical.

Conclusion:

The AgustaWestland AW139 is more than just a helicopter; it is a lifeline for many and a testament to the advancements in modern aviation technology. For Air Green, the AW139 represents the pinnacle of high-altitude operational capability, ensuring that the company can provide critical services in some of the most challenging environments on Earth. With its combination of speed, range, safety, and versatility, the AW139 continues to be a vital asset for Air Green, embodying the future of helicopter aviation.
