Legacy Equipment Provides Backbone for Bell’s Future

Bell Helicopter introduced several new model variants of legacy helicopters and is displaying them here at Heli-Expo.

The Bell 412EPI features a new glass cockpit based on the Bell BasiX flight deck with Rogerson Kratos primary function and multifunction displays similar to those on the company’s 429 light twin. It also has been upgraded with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6T-9 Twin-Pac engines and the BLR strake and FastFin System, which improves high/hot payload capacity by up to 1,410 pounds, according to Bell. The PT6T-9 engines provide 15 percent more power than on the Bell 412EP.
