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. -- Goku Rules .... |

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. Gaylon |

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. "Shaber CJ" wrote in message ... From: "gaylon9" Date: 3/19/2004 3:19 PM Pacific . Cannot imagine a more forgiving ship than the 206. Gaylon MD 500 |

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

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.

Bell chief executive Mike Redenbaugh says the ambitious target is achievable and
will be driven by two key initiatives: Bell's creation of an XWORX for advanced development and its Modular Affordable Product Line (MAPL). Full note: http://www.flightdailynews.com/singa...ters/bell.shtm MAPL = BELL is working on new and competitive products, when Bell sales an 206, Eurocopter sold 3 EC-120, are numbers, the JRX was a tho blade project, the market wants something better. -- Goku Rules ....
