Bell 407 versus bell 427 versus Bell 430??
I'm curious.
I don't know where to find the figures on the Internet, but I think I'm right in saying there are an awful lot of Bell 407's floating around the world.
I imagine it was a huge sale success for Bell.
So,how come the 427 and the 430 kind of tanked?
Did Bell not research the market properly? That extra engine... customers didn't want it? Glass cockpit.... too many expensive bells and whistles?
I've never met anybody raving about the 427 or the 430. But I have heard many, many sarcastic jeers.
Anybody know more about this?
