Description
The Bell 429 came primarily from the emergency medical services (EMS) industry, which has been looking for an updated helicopter. It is capable of single-pilot IFR and Runway Category A operations. The 429 employs the all-new modular airframe concept and the advanced rotor blade design from the Modular Affordable Product Line (MAPL) program, but maintains a derivative engine and rotor drive system from the 427. The first completed 429 flew February 27, 2007. As of June 2009, the Bell 429 had received over 301 orders. On July 7, 2009, the first customer aircraft (s/n 57006) was delivered to Air Methods and Mercy One at Bell's facility in Mirabel, Canada. Limited Edition. Signed and Numbered by the Artist.
