“Mission flexibility is incredibly important for the Australian helicopter sector and the 407GX is a perfect fit for the market. From a utility perspective, the aircraft is frequently used for aeromedical transport, law enforcement, firefighting/sling work, military, mining and exploration support and more. We expect utility demand to remain strong in Australia, bolstered by the resources sector.”
The Bell 407 is powered by a Rolls-Royce 250-C47B which offers improved hot and high performance and the ability to cruise at 133kt.
