I expected great things of the AW189 but the long-range fuel tank in particular looks like a c0ck-up from a weight point of view.

I also suspect that the drag from the fuel tank, searchlight, FLIR and double hoist had not been properly considered at an early stage.

Disappointing.

At least it has storage space, so I am hoping that the seats won't be full of rucksacks.
