Bell Helicopter Textron announced the recent deliveries of three helicopters–a Bell 412, 206B-3 and 430–to customers in vastly different industries and took orders for two 407s in September. The Fort Worth, Texas-based manufacturer also inked a deal at the NBAA Convention in Orlando, Fla., last month on the sale of an AB139, jointly developed with AgustaWestland. According to Bell senior vice president Rick Rosenjack, Bell anticipates an increase of 30 percent in total deliveries over 2002 by year-end.

“Considering that we have introduced no new products or upgrades in the past year, the increase is due solely to new customers finding our products,” said Rosenjack. “Approximately 23 percent of our 2003 deliveries are to new customers.”
