The helicopter

The Bell 407 is a seven-seat, single-engine, turbine-powered helicopter with a four-bladed main rotor, manufactured by the US company Bell Helicopter. The Bell 407 evolved from the Bell 206 Long Ranger and was certified as a new helicopter in 1996. Modifications compared to its predecessor include a new four-bladed rotor system, a new engine over 30 % more powerful with digital control and monitoring. Fast, low vibration, and featuring the interior of an American saloon car, the Bell 407 offers pilots and passengers an unparalleled flying experience.
