Is Bell trying to finally kill off the B-47 ?
I noticed on the Bell website the price of new main rotor blades have jumped from $42,000 each in 2008 to $179,000 EACH in 2009 !
047-110-250-021 BLADE,MR (HR) EA 42,640.00
047-110-250-021 BLADE,MR (HR) EA 179,047.00
What's the justification in such a hefty price rise other than finally trying to get users to move on to later model helis due to higher parts costs ?
