Bell 525 First Flight Planned for Next Year

It appears Bell Helicopter will miss its target for flying the 525 Relentless by year-end, and the manufacturer now expects to fly its new super-medium twin in the first quarter of next year. Bell CEO John Garrison said the delay is not attributable to any particular issue. Bell still expects to fly its new turbine single, the 505 Jet Ranger X, this year.
