The GrandNew, also known as the model AW109 SP, is a light, twin-engine helicopter, produced and developed by AgustaWestland of Italy. The GrandNew features the latest digital avionics, a new digital glass-cockpit and a composite material fuselage. The GrandNew seats up to seven passengers in a spacious cabin (7.5 ft long), with a range of up to 432 nautical miles and a top speed of 178 mph.

The AW109SP GrandNew is the latest derivative of the time-tested A109 series of helicopters, which were originally designed as a rescue mission aircraft in the 1970s. The original A109 utilized twin Allison 250-C20 turbines, but has since been modernized and updated for many different types of missions. Before the AW109 GrandNew was certified in 2011, the AW109E Power was the most modern A109 derivative.

First flying in 1995 and subsequently certified in 1996, the AW109E Power still remains in service today, despite no longer being the most modern in the family. The GrandNew takes its name from its hugely successful predecessor, the Grand, which was known for its excellent performance, interior space, reliability, and economy. The GrandNew features pivotal technological advances while staying true to the efficient design and performance of the Grand. As a result, the GrandNew successfully integrates modern innovation with its predecessor's time-tested strengths, without losing sight of what made it great in the first place.
