The current issue of "Vertical", published in Canada, stated the
Bell JRX (asit is sometin=mes referred) is on hold. It appears as the
upgrade for the 430 might be headed the same way.
Tail rotor and other mods to the 407/427 have not been scrubbed as
yet.

I read in some publications about that Bell must be working on a replace for the
206 discarding the two blade rotor, but are speculations.

Also some people speculates about an Updated 430, as EC made with the BK117,
with a new composite body, new engines and a new quiet tail rotor.

And more, a quiet tail rotor (as the apache's) kit, to be installed on the
407/427 models, will be offered.

Who knows more? w/o Speculations.
