Rotary Wing

The Bell 430 is an four-bladed, twin-engine, nine-seat light-medium helicopter built by Bell Helicopter. It is a stretched and more powerful development of the Bell 230, which, in turn, was based on the earlier Bell 222. The Bell 430 features several significant improvements over the 230, the most significant of these being the new four-blade, bearingless, hingeless, composite main rotor. Although both the 230 and 430 are powered by Rolls-Royce (Allison) 250 turbo shaft engines, the 430's engines are 10% more powerful. Other changes include the 1 ft 6 in (46 cm) stretched fuselage, providing for two extra seats, an optional EFIS flight deck and a choice of either skids or retractable wheeled undercarriage.

The Bell 430 can be used for a wide range of applications including offshore, emergency medical service, search and rescue and law enforcement missions. Over 123 Bell 430 helicopters are in service worldwide.
