The Bell 206 encompasses a family of two-bladed, single- and twin-engined helicopters manufactured by Bell Helicopter. Originally conceived in response to a United States Navy request on behalf of the Army for a light observation helicopter in October 1960, Bell submitted the D-250 design for the proposal (potentially designated as YHO-4). Despite facing competition from 12 other manufacturers and not securing the winning title, Bell persevered with the production of the aircraft, rebranding it as the Bell 206A JetRanger. The subsequent variant, 206B, incorporated more powerful Allison 250-C20 turboshaft engines.
