Bell 412 Medium-Twin Helicopter Family

The Bell 412 is a medium twin-engine utility-helicopter family derived from the Bell 212 and distinguished at its origin by a four-blade main rotor. Successive SP, HP, EP, EPI, and Subaru Bell 412EPX versions have modernized the transmission, engines, cockpit, and operating capability while preserving a large, adaptable cabin. Operators use the family for public safety, emergency medical service, firefighting, search and rescue, offshore transport, external-load work, government service, and passenger transport.
