In ground effect. (Hovering near the ground creates a
cushion of air that increases the weight carrying capability
of the helicopter (the ground effect). This effect generally
is present up to one rotor diameter above the ground.)
Out of ground effect. (Since the ground effect extends up to
one rotor diameter out of ground effect refers to flight that is
higher than this height above the ground.)
Maximum.
The speed at which power required to fly is a minimum.
The higher of the two speeds at which 99% of maximum
range occurs. Cruising at this speed is a tradeoff of one
percent in maximum range for 20 to 30 kilometers per hour
(10 to 15 knots), higher speed.
The altitude indicated on an altimeter or barometer when
the sea level standard pressure reading is the reference
(1013 millibars (29.92 inches) of mercury).
The altitude at which the maximum rate of climb capability
is 0.5 meters per second, 100 feet per minute.

ADVANCED
FOUR-BLADED
MAIN ROTOR
The Bell 430, a 9 to 11 place twin turbine powered helicopter, is the latest version of
Bells' well proven INTERMEDIATE TWIN helicopter series whose heritage reaches
back almost 20 years. This latest model in the series blends the attractive lines of the
222/230 family with Bells' advanced Model 680 Rotor Design.
SYSTEMS OVERVIEW
Introduction
The Bell 430 FOUR-BLADED bearingless rotor system features primary structural
elementsconstructedofcompositematerialstoavoidcorrosionandtoprovidebenign,
easilydetectablefailuremodes,alongwith"on-condition"(noretirementlife)operation.
Main rotor blade pitch change as well as flapping and lead/lag motions occur through
flexing and bending the two composite yokes (with fluid filled dampers and shear
restraints), rather than by means of the customary hinges and lubricated bearings.
The four blades of the main rotor are of all composite construction with a replaceable
metal leading edge abrasion strip. They are designed for on-condition replacement
and are fully interchangeable. A simplified pylon support system attaches the rotor
and transmission systems to the fuselage.

The overall eye appeal of the Bell 430 is aided by the sparkling Polyurethane paint.
Not only is it durable and easy to keep clean, but it maintains and, in fact, exemplifies
the high standard of Bell quality and dependability. The standard Bell 430 comes in
THREE basic color scheme designs illustrated below, each in THREE colors. The
colors are selected from the many shown in the IMRON paint chip chart available
