Reflecting the fact that Bell Helicopter Company was
the largest operating division of Textron Ine, the com-
pany's name was changed to Bell Helicopter Textron on 1
January 1976.
Production at Fort Worth is concerned primarily with
military and commercial single- and twin-engined versions
of the turbine-powered UH-1 Iroquois, the AH-1
HueyCobra armed helicopter developed from the UH-1,
and military and commercial versions of the Model 206
JetRanger. The Bell 47, in continuous production in the
USA for more than 25 years, after receiving the first
helicopter Approved Type Certificate from the CAA or. 8
March 1946, is no longer in production by Bell.
Versions of the UH-1 are built under licence by Agusta
in Italy and Fuji in Japan (which see). Bell also has licence
agreements with the Republic of China, covering co-
production of Model 205 general-purpose helicopters.
and with the government of Australia, covering the pro-
duction of Model 206B-1 Kiowas for the Australian
Army. Prime contractor in Australia is the Common-
wealth Aircraft Corporation (which see).
Since 1958, when Bell's Model XV-3 tilt-rotor research
aircraft achieved the first full in-flight conversion by a
machine of this configuration, Bell engineers have con-
tinued research in this field and have completed recent US
Army/USAF/NASA contracts to investigate proprotor
and folding proprotor technology. The contracts included
manufacture and wind tunnel testing of examples of both
types of rotor.
Towards the end of 1972, Bell and one other company
received contracts from NASA and the US Army for the
design of a tilt-rotor VTOL research vehicle. In May 1973
Bell announced that its Model 301 proposal had been
selected for development. Two examples were ordered,
with the US Army designation XV-15.
During 1972 Bell achieved a major breakthrough in the
elimination of vibration in helicopters with what is known
as the nodalisation concept. flight test data and analytical
results suggesting that 70 to 90 per cent vibration isolation
was practicable. This concept is based on the scientific fact
that any beam subjected to vertical vibratory forces, such
as those induced by a rotor. will develop flexing to produce
a wave form. Points of no relative motion. called the nodal
rotor-induced vibration. Flight tests of a Model 206 Jet-
Ranger with its fuselage suspended from a nodalised beam
were so convincing that Bell decided to utilise this
'Noda-Matic' technique on new production helicopters.
beginning with the Model 2061. LongRanger and Model
214.
Bell Helicopter Textron is responsible for management
of Bell Operations Corporation, newly formed to co-
operate with the government of Iran in establishing a
helicopter manufacturing industry in that country. Further
details of this programme can be found under the entry for
Iran.
Approximately 9,000 people were employed by Bell at
the beginning of 1977. The company has produced more
than 22,000 helicopters.

Although basically similar to the earlier Model 204 (see
1971-72 Jane's), the Model 205 introduced a longer fusel-
age, increased cabin space to accommodate a much larger
number of passengers. and other changes. The following
military versions have been built:
UH-1D. This U'S Army version of the Model 205 Iro-
quois has an 820 kW (1.100 shp) Lycoming T53-L-11
turboshaft, 14.63 m (48 ft) rotor, normal fuel capacity of
832 litres (220 US gallons) and overload capacity of 1,968
litres (520 US gallons). Relocation of the fuel cells
increases cabin space to 6-23 m3 (220 cu ft), providing
sufficient room for a pilot and twelve troops, or six litters
and a medical attendant, or 1.815 kg (4,000 lb) of freight.

The Model 205A-1 is a fifteen-seat commercial utility
helicopter developed from the UH-1H. with 1,044 kW
(1,400 shp) Lycoming T5313A turboshaft, derated to 932
kW (1,250 shp) for take-off. It is designed for rapid con-
version for alternative air freight, flying crane, ambulance,
rescue and executive roles. Total cargo capacity is 7-02 m3
(248 cu ft) including baggage space in tailboom, with 2-34
m (7 ft 8 in) by 1-24 m (4 ft 1 in) door openings on each
side of the cabin to facilitate loading of bulky freight.
External load capacity in flying crane role is 2.268 kg
(5.000 lb). The ambulance version can accommodate six
litter patients and one or two medical attendants.
Normal fuel capacity is 814 litres (215 US gallons):

BELL MODEL 206B JETRANGER II
In the Spring of 1971, Bell began delivery of the Model
206B JetRanger II, which subsequently replaced in pro-
duction the lower-powered Model 206A JetRanger, of
which 660 were delivered. Military 206B-1 Kiowas
assembled in Australia are to Model 206B standard.
Power plant of the Model 206B JetRanger II is the
Allison 250-C20 turboshaft, which Bell was able to install
with minimal modification of the original airframe to meet
requests for higher performance under hot-day/high-
altitude conditions. This enabled Bell to offer modification
kits to convert Model 206As to JetRanger II standard,
simultaneously with production of new aircraft.

Bell's 214ST:
the powerful new
super transport
getting ready to
join the Bell
Air Mobile team
A new, super transport helicopter,
with more horsepower, increased
troop carrying capacity, and able to
deliver heavier loads faster and
higher than ever ... even on the
hottest days ... Bell's 214ST twin
adds a whole new operational
capability to military forces.
Now in test, the 19-place 214ST is
being hailed as the advanced
manpower, ordnance and logistics
mover needed for the 1980s.
Joined with the 206 for
reconnaissance and command and
control, the AH-1 Cobra for fire
support, and the UH-1H and 214B
medium transports, this newest,
most powerful Bell super transport
presents an unequalled air mobile
team for total force deployment in
any weather, in any environment.
