The Bell 212 (also known as
the Bell Two-Twelve) is a two-blade, twin-engine, medium helicopter that
first flew in 1968..Based on the stretched fuselage Bell 205, the Bell
212 was originally developed for the Canadian Forces. The 212 is powered
by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6T-3 Twin-Pac made up of two coupled PT6
power turbines driving a common gearbox. They are capable of producing
up to 1,800 shp. The UH-1N performed its maiden flight in April 1969.
The US military quickly took an interest in the UH-1N and some officials
were keen to quickly procure the type.To improve safety, a high level of
redundancy is present across the UH-1N's key systems; these include
duplicate hydraulic, electrical, and fuel systems. |
Der Bell 212 (auch bekannt als
Bell Two-Twelve) ist ein zweimotoriger mittelgroßer Hubschrauber mit zwei
Rotoren, der 1968 seinen Erstflug absolvierte. Basierend auf dem
verlängerten Rumpf des Bell 205 wurde der Bell 212 ursprünglich für die
kanadischen Streitkräfte entwickelt. Der 212 wird von einem Pratt & Whitney
Canada PT6T-3 Twin-Pac angetrieben, der aus zwei gekoppelten PT6-Turbinen
besteht, die ein gemeinsames Getriebe antreiben. Sie können bis zu 1.800 PS
leisten. Der UH-1N absolvierte seinen Jungfernflug im April 1969. Das
US-Militär zeigte schnell Interesse an der UH-1N, und einige Offizielle
waren sehr daran interessiert, diesen Typ schnell zu beschaffen. Um die
Sicherheit zu verbessern, verfügen die wichtigsten Systeme der UH-1N über
ein hohes Maß an Redundanz, darunter doppelte Hydraulik-, Elektro- und
Kraftstoffsysteme. |
