Bell delivered 18 commercial helicopters in the first quarter, down from 22 in the same period last year. The breakdown included twelve 505s, four 407s, one 429, and one 412. This represents a slight shift from the first three months of last year, when four 429 helicopters were handed over to customers.

On the defense side, Bell shipped two H-1 helicopters in the quarter but did no V-22 tiltrotors. This contrasts with two V-22s and no H-1s in the same period a year ago.
