Bell 407
"The Bell 407 is a four-bladed single-engine civil utility helicopter a derivative of the Bell 206L3 LongRanger. The 407 uses the four-bladed soft inplane rigid rotor with a composite hub that was developed for the United States Army's OH58D Kiowa Warrior instead of the two-bladed semi-rigid rotor of the 206L3. The Bell 407 is frequently used for corporate and offshore transport as an air ambulance law enforcement electronic news gathering and movie making.
Our upgraded features enhance the pilot’s flight experience by providing intuitive and reliable tools in a comfortable cockpit. An unbeatable value, plus convenient maintenance, keep our worldwide customers coming back to the Bell 407 line.
The Bell 407 features the four-blade main rotor developed for the OH-58D (Model 406). The blades and hub use composite construction without life limits, and provide better performance and a more comfortable ride. The 407's fuselage is 8 inches (18 cm) wider, increasing internal cabin space, and includes 35% larger main cabin windows. The more powerful Rolls-Royce/Allison 250-C47 turboshaft allows an increase in Maximum Takeoff Weight and improves performance at hotter temperatures and/or higher altitudes.The 407's airframe is generally similar to the LongRanger, but includes a carbon fiber composite tailboom. The helicopter has standard seating for two crew and five cabin seats.
