Bell introduced a new helicopter model, the 407GXi, at Heli-Expo 2018 in Las Vegas on Monday. The aircraft, based on the 407 airframe, offers new avionics, an upgraded engine and new executive interior design options. The cockpit is now equipped with Garmin's G1000H NXi integrated flight deck, which provides faster speeds as well as brighter, clearer screens. The new Rolls-Royce M250-C47E/4 dual-channel Fadec turbine engine delivers improved hot and high performance and fuel efficiency, the company says. The 407GXi will cruise at 133 knots. It's been certified by Transport Canada and the first delivery is scheduled for this spring. Bell also announced recently it has changed its company name from "Bell Helicopter" to simply "Bell."
