Developed to exceed rigorous FAA FAR Part 29 standards the AW139 is particularly well-suited for security and personnel transport missions. The AW139 flies 50% faster, carries 5000 lbs. more and has a 30% larger cabin than the UH-1N yet fits in the same footprint. Additionally both our cost per flying hour and maintenance man hour per flight hour are also lower. Safer. Better. Costs Less.
