FLYWING AW-109 Coming Soon: Italian Elegance Meets Next-Gen Smart Flight

From mountain rescue missions in the Alps to efficient business travel, one helicopter stands out with its sleek fuselage, tapered nose, and retractable landing gear. This is the Agusta A109, a crown jewel of Italian aviation design.

As the first twin-engine helicopter completely designed in Italy, the A109 made its maiden flight in 1971. It brought elegant lines together with the practical needs of a light twin-engine helicopter. Its sleek fuselage, four-blade main rotor, and distinctive retractable landing gear together defined the A109's distinct visual identity.

For more than half a century, the A109 family has served a wide range of roles, including business transport, helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS), law enforcement, and military operations. Later variants adopted the AW109 designation, and the family continues to serve military and civilian operators around the world.

Now, this Italian classic gets a new RC interpretation. 

The FLYWING AW-109 is on its way, bringing together the iconic silhouette, mechanical features, and a new generation of smart flight technology.

Three Liveries: Choose Your Mission.

The FLYWING AW-109 comes in three liveries, allowing pilots to appreciate scale details while finding the aviation style that best matches their passion:

· Rega 1414 (Swiss Air Rescue): A striking red-and-white scheme paired with Rega 1414 markings captures the professional look of an air-rescue helicopter across Switzerland’s mountains.

· Alpine Rescue: Featuring a vibrant yellow-and-blue theme that echoes high-altitude mountain rescue operations, delivering a bold outdoor aesthetic.

· Camo Evac: A subtle military camouflage scheme creating a strong, tactical visual profile tailored for military aviation enthusiasts.

Whether you prefer high-visibility rescue colors, mountain-themed classic liveries, or tactical camouflage, these options give the same underlying scale design a diverse set of personalities for both flight and display.

Retractable Landing Gear: Classic Mechanics in Motion

For the A109, retractable landing gear is far more than a function—it is a signature visual motif. Once airborne, retracting the main gear cleans up the fuselage lines, emphasizing the helicopter's high-speed design lineage.

The FLYWING AW-109 recreates this essential feature with a mechanical design. The landing gear can retract and deploy automatically based on flight altitude, or be manually controlled with the L-GEAR button on the transmitter. It’s a chance not only to admire this iconic detail, but also to see and experience its movement in flight.

From Hovering to Route Flying: More Confidence, More Realism

Equipped with the ACE flight control system and multi-link GNSS, the FLYWING AW-109 supports outdoor hovering, helping pilots practice orientation and control with greater confidence.

Three-Speed Control × Auto Routing: Easy to get into, fun to explore. Choose Soft, Standard, or Sport response to suit your flying pace. With one-touch switching between circle and figure-8 routes, you can enjoy smooth, repeatable flight paths without having to steer every turn yourself.

Coordinated Turn × Soft Take-Off/Land: More natural-looking flight. Coordinated Turn function adds roll assistance through turns, giving the helicopter a more realistic banked attitude. Smooth takeoffs and landings help make transitions more continuous.

Blending realistic scale fidelity with smart flight assistance, the AW-109 makes exploring scale helicopter flight intuitive and enjoyable for pilots at any level.

▲ With Coordinated Turn enabled, the helicopter receives roll support through turns for a more realistic banked flight attitude.

Paired with the Latest FY-RC02 for a Smarter Flight Experience

The FLYWING AW-109 comes paired with the latest FY-RC02 transmitter. Live telemetry, on-transmitter tuning, and flight logging are seamlessly unified into a single interface, giving you instant access to critical flight information and recording every mission you fly.

November 13 — the FLYWING AW-109 officially launches.

From Italian-inspired design to signature mechanical details, from scale realism to an upgraded control experience, the FLYWING AW-109 brings classic helicopter design together with smart flight technology.
