    OPERATIONALLY DEPLOYED
    Selected by leading customers worldwide, the
    AW101 has earned an unparalleled reputation as
    a safe and smooth platform. Paramount to the
    success of the AW101 is the large, wide body cabin
    which has the capability to transport up to 38 lightly
    equipped troops or carry vehicles.

    LARGEST CABIN IN CLASS


    With the largest cabin in its class, the AW101 provides customers with
    greater operational flexibility. Extensive role equipment provisions,
    coupled with a comprehensive range of optional equipment, enable
    the AW101 to be configured for simultaneous roles, thereby increasing
    operational effectiveness.
    The 6.5m long, 2.5m wide, full-standing height cabin is key to
    responding to all missions. Configured with a wide rear ramp and
    doors on each side, the AW101 can rapidly insert and extract troops,
    cargo and equipment whilst simultaneously providing suppressing
    machine gun fire on all sides.
    The ramp and optional reinforced floor allow carriage of vehicles,
    including quad bike, land rovers, and Special Forces vehicles.

    UNRIVALLED VERSATILITY
    The AW101 is a multi-mission platform, with
    extensive provisions to conduct a diverse range
    of primary and secondary roles. The capabilities
    of the platform allow many of these missions to
    be conducted simultaneously through the use of
    modular role equipment and rapid reconfiguration
    within the cabin.

    SUPERIOR MISSION PERFORMANCE


    LONG RANGE DEPLOYMENT
    With a typical range of 750nm (over 1,300km)
    in standard configuration the AW101 is the most
    capable Utility helicopter in the world today. The
    AW101 has demonstrated over 900nm continuous
    flying when configured with auxiliary fuel tanks.

    the optional Air-to-Air Refuelling (AAR) and


    Hover-In-Flight Refuelling (HIFR) capabilities.

    In addition to its already excellent capabilities, the


    AW101 range can be further extended when using

    The AW101 is equipped with three civil certified


    (FAA Type Certificate E8NE) General Electric CT78E engines, each controlled by dual channel FADEC
    units. This engine configuration provides:

    CLASS LEADING OEI CAPABILITY

    Superior One Engine Inoperative (OEI)


    performance provides capability to safely
    complete missions on two engines
    Minimised exposure in critical phases of flight;
    takeoff, landing and hovering
    Reduced Category A takeoff and landing
    distances
    Twin Engine Cruise (TEC) option to further extend
    the range

    LEADING TECHNOLOGIES
    The AW101s design harnesses technologies at the
    forefront of industry to ensure the AW101 safely and
    reliably responds to the diverse nature of Utility
    missions worldwide.

    UNPRECEDENTED SAFETY
    The AW101s design is focussed on safety and survivability, driven by
    customer demands to operate autonomously in harsh weathers and
    hostile locations. Extensive redundancy in structures, avionics and
    critical systems, combined with the three engine configuration and
    proven 30 minute run-dry capability, ensures the highest standards of
    safety.

    FLEXIBLE AVIONIC ARCHITECTURE


    The latest technological evolutions are fully integrated throughout the
    avionics and mission suite to deliver exceptional Situational Awareness
    and Battlefield capabilities. The NVG glass cockpit with integrated
    Synthetic Vision, Terrain Awareness and Traffic Awareness and Digital
    Map capabilities, combine with High Definition Electro-Optics and the
    latest self protection suite to ensure mission success.

    TOTAL COMFORT & PERFORMANCE


    The AW101s design harnesses technologies at the forefront of industry
    to deliver the lowest levels of vibration and noise. The advanced profile
    composite main rotor design has a comparatively low rotor speed,
    which reduces noise and vibration without compromising performance.

    The ACSR is part of the innovative


    Vibration Management System
    which continuously monitors and
    adapts its operation to minimise
    vibration across the whole
    aircraft. This key technology
    reduces crew fatigue, maximises
    patient survivability and
    lengthens component life.
