    The Bell Jet Ranger design is the Boeing 747 design to the helicopter world. Iconic and unsurpassed!

      I would say the Bell Jet Ranger series is the equivalent of the Ford mustang, and the Hughes/MD 500 series is the equivalent of the Chevy Corvette..

    I'm anxiously awaiting Part 2 of this wonderful presentation. Like Bob Gilchrist mentioned in the comments section, autopilot options and operations are of particular interest to me as well.

    Bell....doing what they do. They reach back in the spare parts bin and come up with a hybrid Civil/Military aircraft with a minimum of investment and new stuff. The Civi 407 was made possible due to the Army's parts bin left over from the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior program (engine/rotor) . Having said all that and being 407 Rated, it is a World apart from the old Jet Ranger platform especially in ease of starting, visibility, smooth ride and safety. I'd love to have one.

    Ok can somebody give me a DEFINITIVE answer? Why do you primarily operate a Bell jet Ranger series (206,407,etc) from the RH side, and a Hughes/MD 500 series from the LHS?

    question.... Knowing what you know today. do you prefer the 407 gxi or the 505? Why?

  • @rigilchrist
    @rigilchrist 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Cool, well done - and thanks! Question: Will the IFR-certified 407GXi candidate for the US Navy contract make it to the UK? That had a 4-axis AP - and (I expect) all pax seats are foward-facing (as it was intended for training). Club seating is good for corporate VIP use but forward-facing is more desirable for the private owner-pilot.

    • @HelixAvBell
      @HelixAvBell  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Bob, the cabin is identical to any other 407GXi, i.e. club seating, and it has 3-axis auto pilot. It is FAA certified already.

    • @llwellyn1
      @llwellyn1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I thought you might enjoy this video as it shows necessary upgrades and a coupled approach in the 407GXi.

      @@HelixAvBell I don't think that is true about the seating in the Navy trainers, the requirement was for forward-facing rear observer seats. You are right about the 407 candidate AP - it was only the H135 Navy candidate that had a 4 axis AP; the successful bid (TH-119) had a 3-axis AP.

    How do you think the Bell compares to the H 145 Airbus helicopter?

    • @rigilchrist
      @rigilchrist 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The H145 is a twin-engined, IFR-certified machine with a 4-axis AP and costs a great deal more. It cannot sensibly be compared to a 407.

      Hi David, the 407 is in a different category to the 145, our equivalent to that is the Bell 429.

      @@buckhorncortez I did listen, that is why I asked. One trainee at Bell helicopter academy once told me 407 has autorotation characteristic like MD500/S300 series not like 206, & I was curious, I have only flown 206 & Enstrom (Piston) both have very high rotor inertia & Auto are dream ..........unlike most other helicopters I think !!!!!!!!!!!

      @MB Exactly!! You would have thought someone at Bell would have had the sense to replicate, but modernize the 206's lines. The 505 is a total fail aesthetically...that's what happens when Bell Canada controls the design.
