The story
The Bell 429 is a modern light twin that punches above its weight. Air ambulance, law enforcement, corporate — it does everything a medium helicopter does in a lighter, more efficient package.
Its tail rotor is two two-blade rotors stacked at uneven angles to form an X, a trick for cutting noise.
