Bell Aircraft

Bell broke the sound barrier with the X-1 and defined helicopter warfare with the Huey. From experimental rocketplanes to the workhorses of Vietnam, Bell pushed boundaries.

Heritage

Chuck Yeager flew the Bell X-1 through Mach 1 in 1947. Twenty years later, Bell UH-1 Hueys became the soundtrack of Vietnam. Bell's innovations in rotorcraft continue to define the industry.
