Leonardo introduces the TH-119

Leonardo-Finmeccanica introduced an AgustaWestland AW119 single engine helicopter variant designated as the TH-119 during the Navy League Sea-Air Space Exhibition (Washington D.C., 16-18 May).

The aircraft is specifically designed for military training customers, primarily the US Navy.

This new version features distinctive capabilities and unique features differentiating it from the proven AW119Kx commercial helicopter, whilst keeping certification advantages.

Like the commercial AW119Kx, the TH-119 will be built at the company’s Philadelphia facility.

The TH-119 maintains redundancies on several key systems for maximum safety, while featuring a dual-display Genesys Aerospace cockpit that gives flexibility to instruct from either seat and the option for VFR or IFR (IMC) operations. This makes the TH-119 an appropriate single engine solution in the market for training in demanding weather and low visibility conditions.
