Introducing the TH-73A
The U.S. Navy announced on Jan. 13, 2020 that AgustaWestland Philadelphia Corporation (Leonardo) was awarded a contract for $176.5M for the production of 32 TH-73A helicopters in support of the Advanced Helicopter Training System (AHTS) program.
First Training Flight. Last Training Flight. One Trainer.
Cost-effective, full spectrum training, without compromise. That’s what military helicopter training demands and it is what the TH-119 advanced helicopter trainer delivers. The TH-119 seamlessly transitions helicopter pilots from training flights to combat missions.

Twin-engine capabilities at Single-engine cost
The TH-119 was developed from our twin-engine AW109 helicopter so much of the flight critical system redundancies that directly support IFR certification are maintained in the single-engine TH-119.

Single Fleet, Single Configuration; All Flights
Forgiving enough for initial training flights and capable enough for advanced training flights. The TH-119 provides all the capabilities in one helicopter with room to grow into future training.

Press Room Highlights
Statement from Congressman Brendan F. Boyle
“AgustaWestland’s TH-73 award will support over 700 aircraft manufacturing jobs in Northeast Philadelphia and help drive our city’s economy. This new contract not only brings new manufacturing jobs to our district, but also helps ensure our future naval aviators are training on proper equipment. Replacing these assets are long overdue and I commend this opportunity to support the U.S. Navy and the training of our future defenders.” Read more here

Pilot Report: TH-119
October 2019 - Richard Ward of AIN pilots the TH-119 and concludes: "If the U.S. Navy decides to go with the TH-119, and the contract decision is expected towards the end of this year, I have no doubt this machine and its Genesys EFIS system is going to provide a great teaching platform for instructors currently flying the 50-year-old TH-57. And the pilots it produces will be ready for the transition to the most advanced combat aircraft the 21st century has to offer." Read the full report
