Welcome to Bell, an 90-year global producer of military and commercial, vertical-lift aircraft ↓
About us
Thinking above and beyond is what we do. For more than 90 years, we’ve been reimagining the experience of flight – and where it can take us. We are pioneers. We were the first to break the sound barrier and to certify a commercial helicopter. We were aboard NASA’s first lunar mission and brought advanced tiltrotor systems to market. Today, we’re defining the future of on-demand mobility. Headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas – as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Textron Inc., – we have strategic locations around the globe. And with nearly one quarter of our workforce having served, helping our military achieve their missions is a passion of ours. Above all, our breakthrough innovations deliver exceptional experiences to our customers. Efficiently. Reliably. And always, with safety at the forefront. At a Glance: • Founded: July 1935, by Larry Bell • First helicopter flew in 1942 • Certified the first commercial helicopter in 1946 • First tiltrotor flew in 1955 • Nearly 60% of helicopters produced are Bell • 98% of all helicopter missions were pioneered in a Bell product • 8,500+ employee Nous pensons au-delà du vol. Nous avons redéfini l’expérience de vol – et où elle peut nous transporter- depuis plus de 85 ans. Nous sommes des pionniers. Nous avons été les premiers à franchir le mur du son. Nous avons pris part à la première mission de la NASA sur la Lune et nous avons mis en marché des systèmes de rotors basculants évolués. Aujourd’hui, nous façonnons l’avenir de la mobilité sur demande. Alors que le siège social est localisé à Fort Worth, Texas – une filiale en propriété exclusive de Textron Inc- nous avons des sites stratégiquement localisés à travers le monde. Nos innovations révolutionnaires offrent des expériences exceptionnelles à nos clients. Efficacement. Fiablement. Et en mettant toujours la sécurité au premier plan. En résumé: • Fondée : Juillet 1935, par Larry Bell • Premier vol d’hélicoptère en 1942 • Premier vol à rotor basculant en 1955
