Company said it plans to begin delivering the aircraft next year.

A lack of supply has restricted the rotorcraft manufacturer’s ability to test unleaded avgas in certain R44 models.

The sale to a partner in Spain brings the total in Europe to 90 units.

The avionics manufacturer will provide autopilot, displays, and other tools for the H125 helicopter.

The program aims to streamline flight training, checking, and an annual insurance review into one event.

The flight management system with radio integrated will deliver to a variety of special missions customers.

The Helix uses IS&S’s 10.4-inch flat panel displays together with Avidyne’s Helios FMS to modernize legacy helicopters.

Bell Textron announced that it successfully flew a test flight using sustainable aviation fuel in the Bell 505 helicopter.

The flight marks the first since production resumed following Surack Enterprises’ purchase of the company after its bankruptcy filing last year.

Derived from the UH-60 Black Hawk, the search and rescue chopper marks its first deployment.
