The Bell 429 is the most advanced light twin helicopter available on the market. It offers a high performance, increased safety, and a high flexibility in configuration, a wide range of mission capability, and a low operating cost. The first flight of the Bell 429 was performed on February 27, 2007. The helicopter was certified by Transport Canada in July 2009. The FAA certification was completed in August 2009. In January 2010, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued type certificate for the Bell 429 helicopter.

The Bell 429 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW207D1/D2 engines rated at 732kW each. The power can be increased to 771kW with the addition of an optional upgraded engine kit. The engine is equipped with dual channel full authority digital engine control (FADEC).

The use of FADEC has improved reliability, reduced pilot workload and simplified maintenance procedures.

The helicopter has an all-glass cockpit designed around the L3 Wescam MX-15 EO/IR turret system and avionics suite. A five-axis autopilot is integrated with the navigation system and flight management system to provide automatic flight control during all phases of flight including hover mode and GPS approaches to Category A airfields at night or

Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. introduced the Bell 429 at Heli-Expo in Anaheim, California. The Bell 429 is a twin-engine light commercial helicopter, which is currently under development.

The Bell 429 helicopter is a single pilot IFR certified commercial helicopter with performance that exceeds FAA Part 27 standards and also meets the requirements for European Joint Aviation Authorities JAR-27.

It has an advanced cockpit and avionics system. The cockpit consists of dual flight displays, a digital map display, dual digital audio control systems, night vision goggle compatibility, a digital health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) and an integrated autopilot system.

The HUMS monitors the engine, drive train and dynamic components of the helicopter including main rotor blades, stabilator blades and tail rotor blades for cracks or defects. It also provides an early warning for potential problems such as low oil levels or high exhaust gas temperatures.

Bell Helicopter has produced more than 35,000 helicopters since delivering its first aircraft in 1941. It is credited with many innovations that have become standards in the helicopter industry, including the first helicopter to exceed 200 mph, the first to exceed 300 mph and the first to exceed 400 mph.

The Bell 429 is a light twin-engine helicopter with a fenestron tail rotor and an airframe made from composite materials. Its maximum speed is 167 miles per hour and it can carry seven passengers plus two crew members. The Bell 429 GlobalRanger has been certified for single pilot instrument flight rules (IFR) operation. It has a cruise speed of 160 miles per hour and can fly up to 360 miles without refueling.

The Bell 429 was designed based on the requirements of air medical operators and offshore corporate operators who wanted a larger aircraft with additional seating capacity and better performance than the Bell 427. The Bell 429’s optional two-pilot IFR capability makes it suitable for use in commercial settings as well as for medical transport missions.

The Bell 429 is a light, twin-engine helicopter developed by Bell Helicopter and Korea Aerospace Industries, based on the Bell 427. The 429 has a two-bladed rotor system, turboshaft engines, a retractable tricycle landing gear and single pilot IFR capability. It was first revealed in February 2007, with test flights beginning that November. The first production model was delivered in July 2008 to the North Memorial Medical Center in Minnesota.

Development began in 2001 with a financial investment from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI). Bell began development of the 429 under the designation Model 429WLG (WLG for “worldwide”). In 2005 Bell initiated its own funding for the program.

The 429 is certified to fly single-pilot IFR and has an advanced glass flight deck that can be equipped with Garmin GNS 430 GPS/VHF nav/comms or GTN 750 touchscreen GPS/nav/comm units and GTN 650 touchscreen GPS/comm unit, dual Garmin GIA 63W (integrated avionics package) VHF nav/comms, Garmin GMA 1347D digital audio panel, Garmin GTX 330 transponder and a KCS 55A HSI.

The Bell 429 GlobalRanger is a lightweight, twin-engine, multi-mission helicopter developed by Bell Helicopter and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) based on the Bell 427. The 429 was certified by Transport Canada on 18 December 2009 and received its FAA type certification on 20 July 2010. It is capable of single-pilot IFR and run on a dual digital automatic flight control system. The aircraft’s main rotor blades and tail rotor are made with composite materials.

First flight of the Bell 429 occurred on 30 October 2007, and it was introduced at Heli-Expo 2008 in Houston. By this date, Bell had already taken 170 orders for the type.

The helicopter seats up to nine passengers with one pilot, although a seven seat configuration with two pilots is also available. It has been marketed as having a “class-leading” cabin size and payload capability. By 2014, around 400 aircraft had been delivered to over 50 countries worldwide.

The Bell 429 is a twin-engine light helicopter with semi-rigid rotor blades, manufactured by Bell Helicopter. The helicopter was designed as a joint venture between Bell and Korean Air. It is based on the Bell 427 and can seat up to seven passengers in addition to the pilot.

The helicopter was first announced at the Paris Air Show in 2005 and received certification from Transport Canada in July 2007. The 429 made its maiden flight on February 27, 2007, and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified it in July 2009 under FAR Part 29 rules. The FAA then granted the aircraft airworthiness certification on September 3, 2009. The fleet had accumulated over 150,000 flight hours by January 2016

The Bell 429 is a light, twin-engine helicopter developed by Bell Helicopter and Korea Aerospace Industries, based on the Bell 427. The Bell 429 is capable of single-pilot IFR and run-dry main transmission operation. The Bell 429 seats ten passengers in standard configuration and can transport up to seven medical patients on aero-medical stretchers with two medical attendants.

The helicopter is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW207D1 engines, each of which can generate 732 horsepower (546 kW). The Bell 429 has a maximum lifting capacity of 2,500 pounds (1134 kg) and a top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h). The helicopter’s main and tail rotor blades are made from composite materials.
