Redefining air travel for the 21st
century requires visionary thinking
– from new product development and
the innovative use of materials to build-
ing the best global product support net-
work in the world. At Bell Helicopter,
vision is both a heritage and a proven
business strategy.
Bell’s revolutionary tiltrotor technology
is making an indelible mark on the
history of aviation by combining the
versatility of a helicopter with the speed
and range of a fixed-wing aircraft.
1999 marked the delivery of the first
three production Bell Boeing V-22
tiltrotors to the U.S. Marines.
For four decades, Bell has been working
to bring this vision to life through engi-
neering ingenuity and the breakthrough
use of composite technology.
Bell engineers determined that composite
materials are essential to achieve the
strength, weight, damage tolerance,
corrosion resistance and survivability
requirements necessary for the V-22’s
military missions. Today, composites
account for over 75 percent of the V-22.
This creative thinking has placed Bell at
the forefront of its industry in the use of
composites.
