Before WWII affected US in 1941, Larry Bell saw potential in a small model designed by Arthur Middleton. After half of a year, his team constructed the first Bell helicopter.
Bell Aerospace used to be constituted of three departments of Bell Aircraft Corporation, containing its helicopter department, which had become its only department still manufacturing complete aircraft since Textron purchased Bell Aerospace in 1960. Due to its success of the UH-1 during the Vietnam War, Bell Helicopter established itself as the largest department of Textron.
Therefore, on November 13th 2017 at the Dubai Airshow, European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) announced the certification of the Bell 505 Jet Ranger X. The helicopter already owns certifications from authorities in the US, Mexico, Chile etc.
Patrick Moulay, the executive vice president said:
“This is a significant milestone for the Bell 505 Jet Ranger X and I know our customers in Europe are thrilled to hear the news as well. Our mission with the Bell 505 was to reclaim the short single light market while honoring the Jet Ranger legacy and the phenomenal customer response is evidence we are on track.”
Bell 505 Jet Ranger X is produced at Bell’s location in Mirabel, Quebec. Comparing with previous years, the production rate at this location has been relatively slow until now, but a noticeable increase is expected with a production of 100 aircrafts in 2018.

HRADIL Spezialkabel GmbH located in Bietighiem, Germany created a new durable type of cable with two coaxial cables by the name of the “New Generation 4.0 Coaxial Cable”. Built for maximum durability for indoor and outdoor use, the cable has been made with many layers of special film. Its unique 3 layers by different sections has created what the company calls a stress free stranded design.
These types of cables have been procured to be placed on applications that require durable cables such as UV -curing trains. The cables are able to perform on both ends like in the case of front cameras and back cameras on the train monitoring performance.
They have become a prime tool when conducting sewer maintance or civil engineering projects.
The new innovative cable is able to distribute two different variation of volts between the two cables It comes with emitting one with 300 and another with 24.
The 44-wire cable configuration has been procured to with stand chemical stress along with mechanical stress during sewer maintance or repairs.
The cable can also with stand low/high temperatures of -50oC to +90oC.
During an average work day with a contractor the UV cable is placed under a lot of stress. For example, when the cable is placed a part of a UV robot used to examine sewer damages it is put through the most agile turns and is also pulled on go return the entire robotic unit.
The cable is also offered at a higher durability configuration of 75 ohms which is better than the typical 50 ohms coaxial.
A unique characteristic that the cable is capable of is its ability to resist against is the hydrolysis and microbes creating the low adhesion on the cable surface.
The cable is also great for outdoor projects as the surface is UV and ozone resistant.

According to ExxonMobil Oil Corp., the main traded international oil and gas company, Pratt & Whitney have publicized that PurePower® PW1100G-JM and PW1400G-JM Geared Turbofan™ engines are now permitted to use Mobil Jet™ Oil 387. The A320NEO aircraft is driven by the PurePower® PW1100G-JM engine. The Irkut MC-21 mid-range airliner uses the PW1400G-JM. (Spring, Texas)
ExxonMobil Oil Corp. is up to date with technology and the latest innovation meeting global energy needs. They are one of the prime sellers of petroleum products, with one of the largest chemical companies worldwide.
Mobil Jet™ Oil 387 is certified as an artificial High-Performance Capability turbine engine oil. It was announced in 2012, and now protects over 250 aircrafts worldwide. This oil is approved for leading aircraft parts and is approved by standards SAE AS5780 and MIL-PRF-23699-HTS. Several benefits of Mobil Jet’s Oil include seal compatibility, low-temperature fluidity deposit control, oxidative stability and wear protection. These benefits have yet to be accomplished by HPC or HTS turbine oil.
Leading aircraft parts will have numerous benefits from ExxonMobil Oil Corp’s Mobil Jet™ Oil 387. The low-temperature fluidity will allow start-up and will ensure effective lubrication of critical components with temperatures as low as -40 °F.
The deposit control in the bearing compartments, air vent tubes, and oil lines lessens the engine’s overall upkeep expenses. Lastly, it also has long-duration fluorocarbon compatibility. This will support with avoiding untimely or spur-of-the-moment engine repairs. It will not only aid in the prevention of leaks which may later lead to air craft delays and cancellations, but again, lessens the engine’s overall maintenance costs.
ExxonMobil’s global aviation lubricants sales manager, Vipin Rana, stated that,
“with its exceptional load-carrying capabilities and ability to maintain film thickness between moving components, Mobil Jet™ Oil 387 is well suited to protect the advanced gearboxes used in PW1100G-JM and PW1400G-JM engines from demanding operating conditions.”
Mobil Jet Oil 387 has been approved by General Electric Aviation, Rolls Royce, Honeywell APU, UTC Aerospace Systems APUs, Generators and Starts, and now Pratt & Whitney.

Robertson Fuel Systems (RFS), A HEICO Company, and Vector Aerospace have completed a major milestone toward Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification of their Crash-Resistant Fuel Tank (CRFT) for the Airbus AS350 light single helicopter family. After a successful completion of a 50-foot drop test which demonstrated the tank’s ability to withstand impact without any leakage, thereby helping to prevent post-crash fires. Flight testing of the AS350 CRFT is now underway at Vector’s Langley, BC, facility.
The Crash-Resistant Fuel Tank is being developed by Robertson Fuel Systems and Vector as a direct replacement for all AS350 models, including the H125 (AS350 B3e), as well as for the EC130 B4. The unique design features a vigorous crash-resistant fuel bladder, and uses several alterations including a magneto-resistive fuel quality transmitter to keep the tank from being compromised in the event of an accident.
Commenting on the landmark, RFS Chief Executive Officer Newman Shufflebarger said:
“Witnessed by the FAA, the successful drop test was a critically important milestone that cleared the way for flight testing and certification to be completed this year.”
That is an amazing breakthrough for pilots and aviation world. A legislation was proposed in the wake of a 2015 AS350 Flight for Life crash in Colorado that investigators presumed survivable but for a post-crash fire.
A Colorado congressman has recently introduced legislation, the Helicopter Fuel System Safety Act (H.R. 4574), that would require crashworthy fuel systems on all newly manufactured helicopters, regardless of the aircraft’s original certification date. In addition, the FAA Reauthorization Act now includes an amendment that requires the FAA to make helicopter owners aware of fuel system retrofits and urge them to install retrofits “as soon as practicable.”
In association with the successful drop test milestone, Robertson and Vector have also announced the launch customers for the AS350 CRFT. Elvis Moniz, Vice President of Business Development for Airframe and Avionics Solutions at Vector, stated:
“We are excited to announce that our longtime customers Air Methods Corporation (AMC) and WeatherTech Aviation LLC will be our launch partners for the AS350 CRFT, and we look forward to supporting their operations.”
