New models from Bell.

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.

The 210 isn't a really new model, only is a mere rebuild of olds huey using some
components of the 212.

Long live the UH-1 HUEY!!!

Just got in from the Bell factory 206 Pilot course, good sources indicate
that the 427 will be getting a fenestron type tail, elastomeric main rotor,
enlarged cabin to better suite EMS work, and a new transmission called the
'pancake' transmission which has only a 'bull' gear and a bevel gear ie. no
sun/planetary type setup. Target price (if achieved) is under 2 million!
By the way What a Fine Course!!! Bell Factory School is. I encourage all to
go at some point to see the experts do it -- and to learn a few pointers
along the way such as how to survive almost anything short of a main rotor
departure. Cannot imagine a more forgiving ship than the 206.

MD 500

The MD500 has many virtues -- fast, economical, maneuverable, etc. -- but
it's not especially forgiving of mistakes, and especially not in situations
requiring an autorotation.

But if you crash, there is no better ship then a 500.

This is a popular legend, based partly on the A-frame behind the pilot and
partly on the ability of the rounded fuselage to roll down a hill after the
skids and rotor system get knocked off, but the key factor is the risk of
serious injury, and the RSI in the 206 is about half that of the 500. This
is in large part, of course, because the 206 is less likely to hit the
ground hard enough to kill the occupants.

I think the gravitational constant is the same for the 206 as for the 500, 32.2
ft/s/s. There has never been a case of the transmission coming into the
cockpit of the 500. If I am going to crash please God make it a 500 I am in.
