Bell delivered 32 commercial helicopters in the second quarter, a slight decline from 35 in the second quarter of last year. This included nineteen 505s, matching last year's second-quarter deliveries, and nine 407s, one fewer than last year. Bell also handed over three 429s and one 412, with the latter down from three a year ago.

The rotorcraft manufacturer’s revenues reached $794 million in the quarter, marking a $93 million year-over-year increase. This growth was primarily driven by a higher military volume of $104 million, largely related to the future long-range assault aircraft (FLRAA) program.
