The
advanced-technology seven-seat Model 407 for corporate
and utility operations became the world's fastest-selling
light helicopter in 1995 and has achieved more than
200 orders to date.
The Model 407 has a four-bladed bearingless, all composite-material,
low-maintenance main rotor system developed originally
for the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior. However, the OH-58D's
stability-and command-augmentation system was eliminated
for simplicity by redesigning the rotor controls.
Whatever
the mission, the new Bell 407 is as versatile as they
come. From traversing rough terrain for Search and Rescue,
to making offshore operations more efficient, to transporting
executives through congested urban areas.
