Leonardo AW609

The Leonardo AW609 is a versatile aircraft that combines features of an airplane and a helicopter. It can take off and land vertically like a helicopter, making it ideal for remote or urban locations with limited space, and then transition to faster, more efficient flight like an airplane for longer distances. Designed for business, search and rescue, and emergency missions, it offers the convenience of helicopter access with the speed and range of fixed-wing aircraft. Its tiltrotor technology allows the rotor blades to rotate, enabling smooth transition between vertical and horizontal flight.
