Bell
Since the company’s beginning in 1935, Bell has set the pace for
the helicopter industry, expanding the scope of vertical lift. Bell
was the first to obtain commercial certification for a helicopter
nearly 60 years ago – and since then, has delivered thousands of
innovative aircraft to customers around the world. When it comes to
developing solutions for urban air mobility or producing
life-saving commercial and military aircraft, Bell has the
innovative minds and the relentless drive to revolutionize search
and rescue operations, business travel and vertical takeoff and
lift. And we are just getting started.
Discover these next-generation aircraft on static display during
Dubai Air Show this year:
- The Bell 505 Jet Ranger X light single engine helicopter is the
ideal military trainer aircraft and offers incredible value unlike
any other helicopter in its class. With more than 200 delivered
around the world, it is designed to be easier and safer to fly
thanks to its superior standard equipment and state-of-the-art
Garmin 1000H TM glass cockpit.
- With over 400,000 hours on the global fleet, the Bell 429 is
designed with the future in mind, enhancing occupant safety, with
the adaptability to remain at the forefront as mission requirements
evolve. The Bell 429 has been chosen by police forces, air medical
teams and militaries around the world for time-sensitive
missions.
- The Bell 525 Relentlessfull-scale mock-up outfitted with Mecaer
Aviation’s luxurious MAGnificent interior will be on static display
this year. The aircraft offers customers a general leap forward,
bringing new technological advances designed to benefit operators
and increase safety standards of the industry. The 525 is expected
to be the first commercial aircraft certified with Fly-By-Wire
technology which is designed to greatly increase safety through
reduced pilot workload and enhanced situational awareness.
- Bell is creating a new era of flight to solve societal,
business and, particularly, mobility challenges now and in the
future. In January, Bell revealed a part of our vision of the
solution, a next-generation aircraft – the Bell Nexus. Bell
executives will be onsite to discuss our On-Demand Mobility
initiatives and how we are creating new concepts of mobility to
make the transportation of people and goods more efficient and
effective.

unrivaled innovation, performance and leadership in the general
aviation industry. During the Dubai Air Show, Textron Aviation and
Textron Aviation Defense will highlight their commercial, defense
and special mission capabilities and exhibit an array of
high-performance aircraft within the static display.
- The Cessna Citation Latitude—the most delivered Cessna Citation
model in the midsize category three years in a row—adds intelligent
innovation, class-leading performance, a spacious cabin and
standard equipment that steps above midsize expectations. Since the
inaugural flight of the first Citation jet in 1969, the renowned
family of business jets has continuously evolved to lead the market
in design, performance and service. Today, more than 7,500 Citation
jets have been delivered to customers around the world – nearly
double its nearest competitor. The Latitude is also available in
full air ambulance and flight inspection configurations.
- The Cessna Grand Caravan EX—2018’s most popular turbine
model—features the freedom to reconfigure to meet changing demands
and empowers operators to meet diverse surveillance mission
requirements. External mounting provisions enable use of advanced
electro optical/ infrared (EO/IR) systems that transmit imaging to
cabin mission computers and available cockpit repeaters.
Intelligence is shared in real time via tactical radio and
satellite downlink.
- The Cessna Grand Caravan EX—equipped with Wipaire’s Wipline
8750 floats—is transformed into a versatile amphibious aircraft,
enabling it to accommodate more complex flight operations in a wide
range of environments. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada
PT6A-140 867-horsepower turbine powerplant, the aircraft is easy
and economical to maintain and delivers remarkable dispatch
reliability. Featuring the newly enhanced Garmin G1000 NXi avionics
suite, the aircraft can fly for more than 800 nautical miles (1,482
kilometers) at speeds in excess of 160 knots (296 kilometers/hour).
As the largest single-engine amphibious aircraft on the market, the
Grand Caravan EX can accommodate seating for two pilots and up to
nine passengers in a first-class interior configuration.

Textron Systems is exhibiting its Aerosonde HQ Unmanned Aircraft
System (UAS). Built on the success of the mature Aerosonde system,
which logs thousands of flight hours around the world every month,
the Aerosonde HQ is a small, runway-independent system that

The Aerosonde HQ system is just one part of Textron Systems’
broader, multi-mission UAS portfolio. For mission sets that demand
greater size, weight and power, Textron Systems offers multiple
Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System variants. Together, Textron
Systems’ UAS have delivered more than one million combined hours of
flight operations, most of which occurred during combat operations.
The business further supports its customers with UAS training,
mission support and modernization.
