Bell trying to find way to meet call for more capable copters (Free Registration)
Bell officials say they are still not sure how to respond to the U.S. Army's contract for 322 light utility helicopters.
Bell was surprise by the Army's requirement for higher-than-expected performance capabilities. The Army requested that the helicopters be equipped and licensed for instrument flights at night or in bad weather, which can easily add $1 million to the cost of the proposed Bell 210.
