I thought Bell had considered the "Shut One Down" concept in one of their Light Twins?

How did that turn out?

Of course Old Hands remember the Wessex with two Gnomes....just like the Single Engine Version with the same Engine.

Did commercial operators ever cruise on just One in the Twin Engine Wessex?

I would think AH would be concentrating on a more reliable MGB for its big aircraft and a much less complex fuel system for its light aircraft.

As to the claim of the "Quietest Helicopter in the World"......perhaps currently but not the quietest I bet.
