Multiple Aircraft On Static Display At The Show

Bell Textron Inc., Textron Systems, Textron Aviation Inc. and Textron Aviation Defense LLC will display a vast product portfolio of commercial and military aircraft at the Dubai Airshow—one of the world’s largest and most important aerospace events. The show takes place November 17-21 at DWC, Dubai Airshow Site.

“Military and commercial customers attending this show can discover that our jet and turboprop aircraft, helicopter and unmanned aircraft offerings in the Middle East are designed to meet their general aviation and special mission needs. Our high-performing aircraft feature advanced technologies designed to meet future demands,” says Scott Donnelly, Textron’s Chairman and CEO. “We look forward to demonstrating the depth and breadth of our aircraft’s advanced capabilities to show attendees.”

Since the company’s beginning in 1935, Bell has set the pace for the helicopter industry, expanding the scope of vertical lift. Bell was the first to obtain commercial certification for a helicopter nearly 60 years ago – and since then, has delivered thousands of innovative aircraft to customers around the world. When it comes to developing solutions for urban air mobility or producing life-saving commercial and military aircraft, Bell has the innovative minds and the relentless drive to revolutionize search and rescue operations, business travel and vertical takeoff and lift. And we are just getting started.

Discover these next-generation aircraft on static display during Dubai Air Show this year:

• The Bell 505 Jet Ranger X light single engine helicopter is the ideal military trainer aircraft and offers incredible value unlike any other helicopter in its class. With more than 200 delivered around the world, it is designed to be easier and safer to fly thanks to its superior standard equipment and state-of-the-art Garmin 1000H TM glass cockpit.
• With over 400,000 hours on the global fleet, the Bell 429 is designed with the future in mind, enhancing occupant safety, with the adaptability to remain at the forefront as mission requirements evolve. The Bell 429 has been chosen by police forces, air medical teams and militaries around the world for time-sensitive missions.
• The Bell 525 Relentless full-scale mock-up outfitted with Mecaer Aviation’s luxurious MAGnificent interior will be on static display this year. The aircraft offers customers a general leap forward, bringing new technological advances designed to benefit operators and increase safety standards of the industry. The 525 is expected to be the first commercial aircraft certified with Fly-By-Wire technology which is designed to greatly increase safety through reduced pilot workload and enhanced situational awareness.

Bell is creating a new era of flight to solve societal, business and, particularly, mobility challenges now and in the future. In January, Bell revealed a part of our vision of the solution, a next-generation aircraft – the Bell Nexus. Bell executives will be onsite to discuss our On-Demand Mobility initiatives and how we are creating new concepts of mobility to make the transportation of people and goods more efficient and effective.
