Bell Unveils Bell 505 Jet Ranger X
The details have been rumored for months, but there is now a new Jet Ranger in the world... and it wants its share of the light single-engine turbine heli market captured by Robinson's highly successful R66. "Bell Helicopter changed the face of the industry nearly 50 years ago with the introduction of the legendary JetRanger," said John Garrison, CEO of Bell Helicopter. "Today we reveal the Bell 505 Jet Ranger X, the high-performance, high-value aircraft our customers have been asking for in this category. Not only is the Bell 505 competitively priced, it offers a combination of features, capabilities and support customers have come to expect from Bell Helicopter."
