For more than 90 years, Bell has pioneered what’s possible in vertical lift. This year, as it returns to Dubai Airshow, Bell reaffirms its status not only as a global force in aerospace but also as a trusted, long-term partner for the community of operators across the Middle East and Africa. From tactical military missions to corporate transport and public safety, its diverse portfolio of platforms is driven by collaboration and feedback from close customer relationships that span decades and generations here in the MEA region.
At this year’s Dubai Airshow, Bell will showcase the Bell 505 and SUBARU Bell 412EPX - two of its dynamic rotorcraft solutions.
“Bell is thrilled to display our world-class aircraft to the Middle Eastern market,” said Tim Evans, managing director of the Middle East and Africa, Bell. “We are noting a steady demand for our products in region and look forward to continuing our conversations with customers on how we can help them achieve their missions.”
Combining its Safran Arrius 2R engine, dual channel FADEC, and Garmin G1000H NXi all-glass avionics suite with a moving map display – the Bell 505 is one of the most technologically advanced platforms in its class. The added benefit of wide panoramic windows, open cabin design, and Synthetic Vision technology has classified the Bell 505 as an ideal aircraft across varying missions.
The SUBARU Bell 412EPX is globally recognized for its adaptability and reliability, enabling operators to undertake a broad range of missions. To date, more than 54% of the global Bell 412 fleet performs parapublic and military missions. The SUBARU Bell 412EPX boasts a maximum internal weight of 12,200 lbs., external weight of 13,000 lbs. and cargo hook capacity of 5,000 lbs. The platform enables critical missions with a useful load of 5,385 lbs.
