The Bell 206 is a family of
two-bladed, single- or twin-engined helicopters, manufactured by Bell
Helicopter at its Mirabel, Quebec plant. Originally developed as the
Bell YOH-4 for the United States Army's Light Observation Helicopter
program, it was not selected by the Army. Bell redesigned the airframe
and successfully marketed the aircraft commercially as the five-place
Bell 206A JetRanger. The new design was eventually selected by the Army
as the OH-58 Kiowa. Bell also developed a seven-place Long Ranger, which
was later offered with a twin-engined option as the Twin Ranger, while
Tridair Helicopters offers a similar conversion of the Long Ranger
called the Gemini ST. The 206L Long Ranger is a stretched variant with seating for seven. The fuselage, stretched a total of 76 cm, adds two rear-facing seats between the front and rear seat |

ausgewählt. Bell gestaltete die Flugzeugzelle neu und verkaufte das Flugzeug
erfolgreich als Fünf-Platz-Bell 206A JetRanger. Das neue Design wurde
schließlich von der Armee als OH-58 Kiowa ausgewählt. Bell entwickelte auch
einen Long Ranger mit sieben Plätzen, der später als Twin Ranger mit einer
zweimotorigen Option angeboten wurde, während Tridair Helicopters eine
ähnliche Umwandlung des Long Ranger namens Gemini ST bot. |
