Built of
aluminium with composite parts
A mostly aluminium airframe with composite parts where they save weight: control surfaces, fairings, the tail or the rotor blades. Largely composite fuselage shells on the newer designs. This is how the Leonardo Spa AW169 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N697HS, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
