Interesting facts about the Bell 212
🚁 The Bell 212 first flew in 1968 and entered service in 1971, evolving from the Bell 205 and forming the basis for the later Bell 412.
🚁 It uses the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6T-3 Twin-Pac, two coupled power sections driving one gearbox, producing up to 1,800 shp.
🚁 If one power section fails, the remaining section can deliver up to 900 shp for 30 minutes, or 765 shp continuously, allowing continued flight at high weight.
🚁 Standard utility layout seats up to 15 people in total, one pilot and fourteen passengers, or carries stretchers for medevac roles.
🚁 The main rotor diameter is 14.63 m and the two-blade system gives the 212 its classic Huey profile and low parts count.
🚁 Typical missions include offshore transport, firefighting with buckets or tanks, external sling work up to 2,268 kg and search and rescue.
🚁 Production ran from 1968 to 1998, with commercial manufacturing moved to Mirabel, Quebec in the late 1980s.
🚁 The 212’s four-blade derivative, the Bell 412, keeps the same fuselage concept while improving hot-and-high performance and ride comfort.
