206

Deliveries of the JetRanger began in 1967. The B3 continued the design with an updated engine; the longer LongRanger is a different cabin. Figures here refer to the 206B3.

The Bell 429 combines a flat-floor cabin with wide doors and a substantial rear baggage area. It is a practical twin-engine option for private and business transfers.

Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

The JetRanger helped establish the small turbine helicopter as a familiar means of private and commercial transport. Its straightforward arrangement placed three seats behind the two front positions. Bell developed the design over successive versions, while the LongRanger created a separate, stretched branch. The 206B3 belongs to the shorter JetRanger line, retaining its compact five-seat total layout.

Before you choose

Can I stand upright in the cabin?

The cabin is lower than 180 cm, so a person of that height cannot stand fully upright. The scaled illustration shows the difference. Maximum cabin height: 1.20 m.

Will my helicopter have this exact interior?

Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.
