The Bell 407


Features

Chrome-plated exhaust pipes not yet standard. The full integration of speed, performance and maneuverability. Reliable beyond measure. Outfitted with a spacious cabin that seats up to seven, configurable for an array of tasks and payloads. Composite dynamic components and unmatched rotor authority for an incredibly smooth ride in virtually all conditions. The 407 is the first choice of those who put performance first.

  • Superior performance with the best speed, payload and range available in its class.
  • Superior power to weight ratio.
  • Exceptional passenger comfort with the smoothest ride in its class and wide-open club seating for unparalleled visibility.
  • Pilot-friendly attributes such as a twist grip throttle on the collective and a FADEC for the engine.
  • The high performance, combat proven, composite dynamic components of the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior for unmatched handling.

Increased power and decreased noise are no longer incompatible. The 407's sophisticated engine and composite rotor ensure a smooth ride and drastically quieter operation. After all, you don't always have to yell to make a statement.

Missions

Corporate

It looks good in the air. It looks even better on your balance sheet. This high performance single engine machine provides greater payload than its closest competitor as well as carrying this additional load at lower seat mile costs than the other choices. It’s high technology meets high performance. At the highest standards. Fly Smart. Fly Bell.

  • Room to comfortably accommodate seven.
  • All composite, four-blade rotor provides superior hover performance, speed and a smooth quiet ride.
  • Expanded safety and reduced operating costs from the FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) engine fuel management system of the proven Rolls Royce 250-C47B turbine engine.
  • Robust cabin design and a rupture resistant fuel system for enhanced crash test worthiness.

EMS

Your work is demanding. Ours is too. Our job is to make sure yours goes off without a hitch. The Bell 407 strikes the perfect balance between performance, reliability and mission flexibility, ideal for the precarious nature of your job. A smooth ride is essential on your mission and you’ll get that and more due to the all composite, four bladed rotor system that also provides excellent hover performance and speed. The 407 is also ideal for extreme environments: high altitudes, arctic conditions or even the hottest locales. Fly Smart. Fly Bell.
