    The Bell Jet Ranger design is the Boeing 747 design to the helicopter world. Iconic and unsurpassed!

      I would say the Bell Jet Ranger series is the equivalent of the Ford mustang, and the Hughes/MD 500 series is the equivalent of the Chevy Corvette..

    Great videos. When (not if) I win the Euromillions jackpot , the first thing I'll do is buy a Bell 407GXi.
    Oh wait, the first thing I'll do is make a will, then buy a Bell 407GXi...

    Ok can somebody give me a DEFINITIVE answer? Why do you primarily operate a Bell jet Ranger series (206,407,etc) from the RH side, and a Hughes/MD 500 series from the LHS?

    Cool, well done - and thanks! Question: Will the IFR-certified 407GXi candidate for the US Navy contract make it to the UK? That had a 4-axis AP - and (I expect) all pax seats are foward-facing (as it was intended for training). Club seating is good for corporate VIP use but forward-facing is more desirable for the private owner-pilot.

    • @HelixAvBell
      @HelixAvBell  Před 3 lety

      Hi Bob, the cabin is identical to any other 407GXi, i.e. club seating, and it has 3-axis auto pilot. It is FAA certified already.

    • @llwellyn1

      I thought you might enjoy this video as it shows necessary upgrades and a coupled approach in the 407GXi.

      @rigilchrist Před 3 lety

      @@HelixAvBell I don't think that is true about the seating in the Navy trainers, the requirement was for forward-facing rear observer seats. You are right about the 407 candidate AP - it was only the H135 Navy candidate that had a 4 axis AP; the successful bid (TH-119) had a 3-axis AP.

    question.... Knowing what you know today. do you prefer the 407 gxi or the 505? Why?

  • @Bigsky1991
    @Bigsky1991 Před 2 lety +6

    Bell....doing what they do. They reach back in the spare parts bin and come up with a hybrid Civil/Military aircraft with a minimum of investment and new stuff. The Civi 407 was made possible due to the Army's parts bin left over from the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior program (engine/rotor) . Having said all that and being 407 Rated, it is a World apart from the old Jet Ranger platform especially in ease of starting, visibility, smooth ride and safety. I'd love to have one.

      @@buckhorncortez I did listen, that is why I asked. One trainee at Bell helicopter academy once told me 407 has autorotation characteristic like MD500/S300 series not like 206, & I was curious, I have only flown 206 & Enstrom (Piston) both have very high rotor inertia & Auto are dream ..........unlike most other helicopters I think !!!!!!!!!!!

    How do you think the Bell compares to the H 145 Airbus helicopter?

    • @rigilchrist
      @rigilchrist Před 3 lety

      The H145 is a twin-engined, IFR-certified machine with a 4-axis AP and costs a great deal more. It cannot sensibly be compared to a 407.

      Hi David, the 407 is in a different category to the 145, our equivalent to that is the Bell 429.

      @@HelixAvBell The 429 is a very capable aircraft. I did some high speed tactical work in a H 146 and I was very surprised at its agility. I would like to put the B 429 through a similar test to experience the difference.

      @MB Exactly!! You would have thought someone at Bell would have had the sense to replicate, but modernize the 206's lines. The 505 is a total fail aesthetically...that's what happens when Bell Canada controls the design.
