Texstars Develops Bell 525 Birdstrike-resistant Windshield

Bell Helicopter has chosen Texstars (Booth No. 507) to provide birdstrike-resistant windshields for the Bell 525 Relentless. These windshields will feature other safety improvements including enhanced pilot’s field-of-vision and a wrap-around windshield that eliminates the need for lower-view chin bubble windows and overhead skylights. The improved pilot’s view will enable direct sighting of mission objectives and landing zones.

Perhaps the most important safety feature is an alternative structural transparency material that will provide pilot, crew and passengers with protection from injury due to birdstrikes.
