Bell 206 - improved particle separator
Hey Bell 206/407 operators,
I just wanted to get your thoughts on the subject of possibly introducing a latest generation engine inlet particle separator ( aka "sand filter") which will not use the engine bleed air, but rather electrically driven scavenge fans. Also, this new unit will be very efficient in removing sand & dust - far beyond the capability of the current 206 design, from the 1970's.
