Bell 230


Crossing a congested urban cityscape to deliver a group of corporate clients. Lifting an accident victim from a remote mountain edge. Directing police through darkness on a high-speed chase. Or flying a military search-and-rescue mission.


From the heart of the city to the heat of the night, the Bell 230 can accomplish it all. With dependable performance, lasting reliability, superior handling and comfort, and Bell's heritage of outstanding value. Only Bell, the most experienced helicopter manufacturer in the world, can bring you such a classic. And only Bell, with the most dedicated customer service and support organization in the industry, can help you make the most of your choice investment.


Only Bell can bring you the acclaimed 230. To set the world standard in vertical flight, you must crete aircraft that can embrace the increasingly complex demands of today's missions, while providing outstanding overall value and worldwide support after the sale.


Take just one look at the Bell 230 and see for yourself. Such dedication to excellence is what makes the 230 rise far above the rest. No matter what your mission mandates, no matter what your job requires, the Bell 230 is up to the challenge. Best of all, the 230 is built and backed by Bell Helicopter, manufacturer of the most reliable helicopters in the world. Helicopters so reliable, they consistently retain the highest trade-in values in their respective classes.


The Bell 230 is no exception. The Bell 230 is the perfect balance of cost and capability in an intermidiate twin. For instance, the 230 is the only helicopter in its class to offer a choice of skids or retractable wheels. And such features don't come at the expense of performance either. The Bell 230's superior handling qualities allow certified single-pilot IFR flight, without autopilot - and achievement no other helicopter in the world can claim.


Other Bell 230 achievements include:

The Lowest Operating Costs In Its Class -
The Bell 230 delivers cost-efficient performance, no matter what your mission mandates. In fact, because the 230's life-cycle costs are so predictable, Bell offers the Total Support Plan - a simple, transferable maintenance program that assures you of certified support at a fixed rate. Choose this optional plan and Bell will provide special tools and line replacement units for both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.
The Best Single-Engine Performance In Its Class-

The 230 offers the best Category A performance of any intermediate twin. Powered by twin Allison 250-C30G/2 turbine engines, the 230 boasts a maximum cruising speed of 144 kts [267 kph] and a range of 385 nm [713 km].
Safety As A Standard Feature-

The Bell 230 is the only helicopter in its class to offer collective-mounted throttles, rupture-resistant fuel cells and energy-absorbing crew seats as standard equipment.
