# AW169AW169
The AW169 sits in the middle of Leonardo’s twin-engine lineup and is suitable for talking about the balance of size, cabin and task.
[About the manufacturer](https://onlyplanes.ru/en/vertolyoty/proizvoditeli/leonardo)
01 / Model history
## Between easy and medium
Leonardo combines the AW169 with the larger AW139 and AW189 in the overall concept of the family. For the operator, this can mean a familiar logic of transition between classes, but the parameters of specific machines should be compared separately.
Passenger, medical and special layouts solve different tasks. Even if outwardly AW169 seems a convenient compromise, the actual seats, equipment and weight on a given route are crucial.

Leonardo, Commercial Product Range. The 4,800 kg variant and maximum route figures do not automatically apply to all AW169s.
### Place between AW109 and AW139
The AW169 gives more space and planning capabilities than the compact AW109, but remains smaller than the AW139. Such a position is attractive if the route requires a certain cabin without infrastructure for a larger car.
The comparison should be made by load, cabin and sites. A simple table of length or maximum speed will not show how many things are convenient to carry with people.
### Flexibility and price of equipment by mass
Passenger, medical and service installations change not only the appearance of the cabin. They add mass and shift the balance on which the fuel on board depends.
If the AW169 VIP is considered, the passport numbers of the base platform serve as a guideline, and the final capacity is determined by the interior design.
