The Bell 442, eh?
I can find nothing about that, and it had passed me by.
Can anyone tell me any more?
"In design definition stage from spring 1993; same weight class as Bell 412; four-blade main rotor; powered by two HTEC CTS800 or MTU/Turbomeca/Rolls-Royce MTR 390 turboshafts; hydraulically retractable tricycle landing gear. Was intended as Bell412 successor, but now succeeded by upgrade Model 412+ programme."
Was it another bloomin' Huey, or something genuinely new?
