It would’ve been a huge mistake for the growth of our company had we bought a different aircraft. I would’ve been missing out with the amount of jobs I’ve been picking up with the 505.

Ready for your mission

External Load

The highest cargo hook load in its class and impressive altitude performance make the Bell 505 the ideal external load machine capable of competing with larger cabin singles bringing value to you and your customers

Tourism

We know when it comes to airborne tours, it's all about the view. The Bell 505 offers panoramic visibility for all passengers, making it the ultimate tour vehicle.

Charter

Speed, comfort, and versatility are key in the charter industry, that’s why we made sure the Bell 505 has enhanced capability for all three. The Bell 505 provides the ability to comfortably cruise at up to 125 knots and offers flexible interior options for charter customers

Features

Open Up the Possibilities

An open cabin that provides panoramic views for passengers, easily removable seats and a flat floor with integrated tie downs provide operators with the ability to quickly convert the Bell 505 from a passenger vehicle to a maximized cargo carrier.

A Powerful Tool

The 505 SHP, FADEC controlled, Safran HE Arrius 2R engine provides the power to fly up to 20,000 ft (6,096 m) and carry 2,295 pounds (1,040 kg) external useful load providing capability beyond traditional short cabin helicopters.

Reliable and Maintainable

When your business relies on your aircraft, it pays to stay in the air. That’s why the 505 uses the venerable Bell 206L4 drivetrain and MSG-3 zonal maintenance program to ensure availability. Integrated diagnostics via the Garmin G1000H NXi and large, removable panels make diagnosing and maintaining the Bell 505 quick and simple.
