The Bell 429, also recognised as GlobalRanger, stands as a light, twin-engine helicopter introduced in 2009, jointly developed by Bell Helicopter and Korea Aerospace Industries. The initial concept for this new helicopter arose from a need for a medical emergency aircraft and was derived from the preceding model, the Bell 427. Although initially intended for this market, the Bell 427 had insufficient cabin capacity to meet the demands of patient care. The prototype of the Bell 429 took its maiden flight in 2007, with the official announcement of the aircraft occurring in 2009. The finalised design incorporated rear clamshell doors to facilitate patient and equipment loading, optional retractable landing gear, and demonstrated quieter operation owing to advanced rotor technology.
Red Box is delighted to present an extensive range of ground power and support equipment for this aircraft, encompassing tugs, ground power units, start power units and more, all impeccably suited to the specifications of the Bell 429 aircraft.
