Bell 525 Will Certify with Four Test Aircraft
Progress is continuing despite the halting of flight testing.
Bell 525 flight-test vehicle two (FTV2) will be one of four ships used for FAA certification. Before FTV1 crashed in July, the original plan called for five helicopters. Bell is working with the FAA and NTSB to get the 525 test fleet back in the air following the crash. (Photo: Bell Helicopter)
