Bell Helicopter is to take part in the Monaco Yacht Show 2012, with a Bell 429 being put on display aboard one of the largest yachts afloat in Port Hercules.
The Monaco Yacht Show, held Sept. 19-22, will see the 429 in corporate configuration as it is showcased on the helipad of the 220-foot. (67.15 meter) superyacht, Garcon.
“Participating in this event gives us an opportunity to talk with our existing and potential customers, learn more about their plans and share our mutual goals for the future,” said Danny Maldonado, Bell Helicopter’s executive vice president of commercial sales and marketing.
The Monaco Yacht Show is one of the most important events for the captains of the yacht industry. The prestigious event will host 500 exhibitors representing innovative products and luxury services from a variety of sectors. With 28,000 visitors representing nearly 40 countries at the event in 2011, even more are expected at this year’s show.
“The Bell 429, our new light twin displayed at the Monaco Yacht Show, and the Bell 407GX can both be easily embarked on yachts and provide owners the flexibility to transport guests rapidly from an airport directly to the yacht to spend more time afloat,” said Patrick Moulay, Bell Helicopter’s managing director in Europe. “With its spacious cabin and its exceptional speed, the Bell 429 has been particularly successful among the VIP and yacht owners’ community. We see a tremendous potential for more sales in this market segment,” added Moulay.

Despite the widespread adoption of Garmin’s integrated avionics systems in a variety of airplanes from four-place piston singles to turboprops and business jets, never before has the company’s G1000 glass cockpit flown in a helicopter. As we were preparing to depart and get our demo under way, the radio crackled, signaling the arrival of another helicopter, which settled onto the grass beside us. “Have you had a ride in the Bell 429 yet?” Parent asked, glancing over at the 407GX’s larger, pricier sibling nestled next to us. I had not. “It’s nice, but that’s a Cadillac,” he said. “This,” he announced, tightening his grip on the collective, “is a Corvette.” Accelerating to 140 knots, the 407GX’s impressive top speed, Parent went straight to work showing off the G1000H’s capabilities.
