Bell 505 Jet Ranger X Project Neatly Illustrates Waltonen’s Capabilities

The last of the 206B JetRanger helicopters rolled off the assembly line in late 2010, bringing to an end a nearly 50-year era for Bell Helicopter of Fort Worth, Texas. Only a few years later, however, they wanted to re-enter the light, single engine aircraft market. And Bell turned to Waltonen Engineering of Warren, Michigan, to make things happen – fast. “Bell wanted to challenge the norms. They didn’t want this program to be bogged down in the bureaucracy that usually takes place in developing an aircraft,” says Tom Poirier, Senior Account Manager at Waltonen. “And we wanted to help find a way to make this program viable. We like these kind of challenges; it’s what makes us get up and go to work in the morning.”

Bell’s plans for its 505 Jet Ranger X called for a “bolt-together” aircraft, a modular unit assembled in a higher volume production environment than most programs, with an ultimate goal of rolling them off the assembly line and into the flight line at a pace of one unit per day. Speed to market was critical. They targeted a quick, three-year product development cycle from design concept to production aircraft delivered to customer.

And Waltonen was up for the task.
