The newest addition to the BHTI family, the Bell 429 has established the new “top of class” standards in the light twin category. With cabin size rivaling competitors’ mid-size helicopters, the B429 is a “clean sheet design” that incorporates innovative design concepts and the most modern technology available. The result is a truly impressive helicopter that is fast (154 KTAS), spacious, powerful and efficient to operate.
The Bell 429’s huge 130 cubic foot passenger/cargo compartment features an open design and flat floor that allow for multiple seating configurations and a myriad of special mission applications. Safety enhancements include advanced avionics, a fatigue tolerant tail boom, a crashworthy fuel system and damage tolerant hub and rotor systems. The Bell 429 has been certified to the latest FAA and EASA airworthiness standards and is certified for single pilot IFR, dual pilot IFR and Category A operations.
The Bell 429-the standard by which all other light twin helicopters will be judged.
