FARNBOROUGH: Bell and Subaru unveil 412EPX helicopter
Bell and partner Subaru have unveiled the 412EPX commercial helicopter, an upgraded version of the US manufacturer’s medium-twin, which will form the basis of a new military model for Japan.
In 2015, the pair were selected by Tokyo under the UH-X contest to replace the Japan Ground Self-Defence Force’s current fleet of UH-1J troop transports, with local assembly of the 150 aircraft a condition of the contract.
