Light Single Helicopter Building A Name for Itself in the Affordable Helo Segment
The Bell 505 fleet has racked up more than 100,000 flight hours around the world, around 5 years after its introduction. The first customer delivery in 2017 kicked off a flurry of activity for the helicopter, proving itself a competent, capable aircraft for users in nearly any role. The worldwide 505 fleet numbers more than 360 aircraft, with more on the way says Textron. Lane Evans, director of the Bell 505's support and sales division, says the bang-for-buck performance and modernity has made it a go-to in the short light single category.
