Hi all, I made my annual pilgrimage to stateside to the Heli Expo Convention in Anaheim, a fortnight ago and here are my photos of the unveiling of the Bell Short Light Single (SLS) which is the 505 Jet Ranger X :) One of the trio of mockups is for the parapublic

Nice to hear your opinion, :grr: though I find it quite sleek as with many of Bell current and potential customers. Bearing in mind it's making history as in being the first Bell product to be powered by Turbomeca engine :)

TBH most rotorcraft in this day are not bad looking, though be interested to hear your thoughts on whats a good looking bird :)

Btw you would not be working for Airbus Helicopters or AW per say?

Nope, don't work for AW/Airbus Helicopters, Bell, Sikorsky or anyone else :P

The Bell 429 looks good... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... t_2012.JPG
