“Spanning nine decades, the story of Bell is one of relentless engineering, bold milestones and enduring legacy in aviation and aerospace. We look back on 90 years of the company that helped define modern flight — and explore how it continues to shape the future of vertical lift.” - by Kenneth I. Swartz
In Bell’s rich 90-year history, we’ve accomplished industry firsts, world records and innovative solutions for global industries and lifesaving missions. Our history holds iconic moments where we dared to pursue unprecedented achievements, including the Bell X-1, the world’s first supersonic aircraft, and supporting the first lunar landing mission. These paved the way for vertical lift innovations that saved lives on the battlefield and became critical assets to operators across the globe.
Bell has developed a revolutionary fleet, moving people and goods in emergency medical services, utility, offshore, government protection and private operations every day. We’ve built aircraft that demonstrates grit, strengthens warfighters, and executes critical missions to protect nations.
Thank you to our employees, customers and partners for placing your trust in Bell. We celebrate this milestone with each of you. A special thank you to MHM Publishing and the talented writers with Vertical Magazine for telling our story.
