Next Generation Engine Technology

Known for its rugged, fuel-efficient and exceptional performance, the CT7-2F1 provides reliable power and performance for all missions.

ARC Horizon Flight Deck

The Bell 525 Relentless is the first commercial helicopter to incorporate the intuitive Garmin G5000H, a touchscreen avionics suite for enhanced situational awareness and improved pilot integration due to fewer hand/eye movements in the flight deck. Helicopter Synthetic Vision Technology™ (HSVT) gives pilots a 3D depiction of terrain, obstacles, traffic and more in any condition. With its proactive hazard interventions through high-bandwidth capabilities, the Bell 525 avionic system sets the new standard for vehicle control in austere environments – precisely, safely, consistently, taking operational safety to the next level.

Fly-By-Wire

The Bell 525's fully digital fly-by-wire flight controls allows operators to fly demanding missions in almost any environment safely and reliably. Advanced control laws offer maneuvering confidence and envelope protection with enhanced repeatability. Fly-by-Wire flight controls provide the ability to operate demanding missions safely and reliably with decreased pilot workload.

Best-in-Class

The Bell 525’s payload/range performance, cabin volume, and flight crew visibility aren’t just best-in-class. They define a whole new standard for helicopter capability, reliability, and safety. The Bell 525 provides an exceptional passenger experience through best-in-class cabin and cargo volume, flexible cabin layout options, ergonomics, and ingress/egress solutions.

Flexible Configurability

Designed for functionality, flexibility, and passenger comfort the Bell 525 offers a fully flat cabin floor highly configurable with 16 passenger seats in a standard OGP compliant layout. Its floor “puck” system allows for easy seat removal for reconfiguration to suit any mission's needs.

Exceptional Visibility

With wrap-around windscreens the Bell 525 provides a wide field-of-view during takeoff, cruise, and landing and excellent over-the-nose viewing as well as less view obstruction due to side-stick controls.
