Jeff's Helicopter Philes

"...With Bell helicopters flying in more than 100 different countries around the world, logging another ten hours every minute of every day, Bell Helicopter Textron supports its fleet with worldwide service, 24 hours a day. And finally, here is the ultimate exhibition of innovation. The product of five centuries of trial, error and success. Da Vinci theorized the vertical flight concept, but the secret of motive power was to elude him all his life. Arthur Young put the theory to the test and Larry Bell put it into common practice.

Today Bell Helicopter is hard at work on concepts that would defy even the imaginations of da Vinci, Young and Bell. The motivation comes from the old master himself.

"Although human subtlety makes a variety of inventions. . .it will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature, because in her inventions, nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous."

At Bell Helicopter Textron, we believe that anything is possible. To that end, we strive to be sure that nothing is ever lacking, and nothing is ever superfluous.
