First Flight of the Relentless

Bell Helicopters have recently successfully flown the first flight of their model 525 Relentless super medium helicopter.

The Bell 525 is the world’s first fly-by-wire commercial helicopter designed to operate safely and reliably in austere environments with decreased pilot workload. The aircraft features the first fully-integrated touch screen avionics suite designed for helicopters, the Garmin G5000H®. Best-in-class payload, cabin, cargo volumes, and passenger comfort complement the technological advancements on the aircraft.

What a cool evolution.

Going to change my post on the what would you do if you won the lottery thread!

As an old rotorhead from the early 1970s I would have trouble with no anti-torque pedals. I know it's just monkey skills but it would take some getting use to.

It looks a superb machine. But I think at around £10 million you might need a euromillions win !

It looks like the S-76!
