One of the most annoying things about riding in a lot of helicopters for any distance is the deafening roar that makes normal conversation impossible and a splitting headache a certainty. It’s no way to arrive for a big meeting and enough to make you go back to wading through the traffic on the ground. But, not all helicopters are created equal, as evidenced by the Bell 430 helicopter. This full-sized “Best Of” can transport nine passengers with an exceptionally quiet ride and a speed afforded by its advanced bearingless composite main rotor design. A top speed of 160 mph and a 400-mile range means the Bell 430 can take you cross town or half way across the country. Bell backs the 430 with over 50 years of testing and proven innovation and customer support that’s been voted tops in the business for 13 consecutive years by the Professional Pilot’s Customer Survey.
