ForFreeRum Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 I just read the Wisk Air press release about their new 412. "Strong: It can lift up to 4500 pounds...." "Fast: It can travel at 140 kts....." Where can I get a 412 like that! And for only $4M! They must be using some super secret lightweight materials to get light enough to operationally lift right up to the hook limit with enough fuel to actually go somewhere and a pilot on board......wait, maybe that is the 1st automated Bell 412 that does not need a pilot! And flying right at Vne everywhere you go.....awesome. Maybe it has little rocket engines like Airwolf hidden in the engine compartments....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heliian Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Gotta sell it somehow i guess. Tough market right now, customers are searching for a bargain all the time since there's machines sitting everywhere. From a cost perspective, the 205 is still better for a charter.

CBRN Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 If you want the truth, look in an "airbus" POH, as it will do exactly what it says on the "tin". Unlike the Bell product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
