Guy: HeliHub carried
this article which I am sure is the one you are referring to but, unless I am mistaken, this only allows Bell to continue using the type of undercarriage you see fitted to Reignwood's 429 above.
My understanding is that Eurocopter won a suit against Bell resulting in the 'sleigh-style' gear being removed from all 429's. However, EC went on to state that the replacement gear (in the photo above)
still represented an infringement of their design and which claim I believe is the one which has just been thrown out.
I am skeptical as to whether EC actually conceived the 'sleigh-style' undercarriage as there were several drawings of similar design by other manufacturers which considerably pre-date the 'blueprints' for the Colibri but .. as we know, this is not about who first conceptualised the style .. but who first had it patented!
