In The News Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 A clean-sheet design from Bell Helicopter is the highlight announcement so far at Heli-Expo in Dallas.

As with business jets, bigger is generally selling better on the helicopter side and the Relentless will top out at about 18,000 pounds with a 400 mile range and a Garmin 500H panel. First flight is expected in 2014. Not all the success is in the big aircraft, though and Robinson Helicopters had plenty to talk about.View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
