About the A109C

The Agusta A109C is a twin-engine, type-certificated rotorcraft with an accommodation capacity for eight individuals, including the pilot. It is configured for multi-purpose duties, suiting executive transport, emergency medical services, law enforcement, and patrol operations worldwide.

Development began in the late 1960s with a shift toward a twin-engine design, culminating in the maiden flight of the prototype in August 1971. Flight testing encountered dynamic instability that required transmission modifications to resolve. The variant builds upon earlier models by incorporating more powerful engines and composite rotor blades. Across its history, the aircraft has been adapted into numerous mission-specific configurations and utilized by military and civil operators globally.
