Bell To Showcase Its Nexus eVTOL Aircraft in Smithsonian Museum
The helicopter manufacturer's eVTOL design will feature in the Smithsonian's Futures exhibition even though the program's future is unclear.
Bell is sending the mockup of its Nexus eVTOL aircraft design to the Smithsonian Institution’s Arts and Industries Building (AIB) “Futures” exhibit in Washington, D.C., this fall. The mockup made its public debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2019, but since then the helicopter manufacturer has said little about how the program is progressing.
“The Bell team is paving the way for future electric-powered vehicles and greener technology to flourish,” said Mitch Snyder, president and CEO of Bell. “We have a rich history of partnership with the Smithsonian Institute, with our various legacy aviation and aerospace products on display throughout the years, and I’m excited that the Bell Nexus will be part of the new Futures exhibit.”
