Interesting facts about the Bell 230
🚁 The Bell 230 is the upgraded, twin-engine evolution of the Bell 222B, certified in March 1992 and delivered from November 1992.
🚁 Power comes from two Rolls-Royce (Allison) 250-C30G/2 turboshafts, which improved single-engine performance and reliability compared with earlier 222 variants.
🚁 The type keeps the proven two-blade semi-rigid main rotor and two-blade tail rotor, paired with either skid gear or optional retractable wheels depending on mission needs.
🚁 Typical seating is for up to nine people including pilot, with executive, utility and EMS interiors widely available.
🚁 The 230 uses a sponson fuel system with main fuselage and side tanks, supporting strong range for corporate transport and air ambulance roles.
🚁 Operators value the straightforward systems, broad parts support shared with the 222 family, and common STCs such as inlet barrier filters and wire-strike protection.
🚁 Many 230s serve in air ambulance, offshore support, corporate transport and public service, thanks to balanced speed, cabin space and twin-engine redundancy.
🚁 The Bell 230 led directly to the stretched Bell 430, which added a four-blade main rotor and more cabin length for higher passenger capacity.
