The Eagle Single 212!

Real World Aviation

This is probably one of my favourite helicopters to show off since it confuses people,
The Eagle Single Bell 212. Traditionally the Bell 212 is a twin engine medium lift helicopter.
Eagle Copters in Canada has a STC (Supplemental Type Certificates) for the 212 to be converted into a Single Engine helicopter!
They replace the twin PT6 and replace it with a single engine Honeywell T53. It basically turns into a Bell 205 Airframe with the look of a Bell 212. This allow us to lift more then the traditional Bell 212!

To do this conversion it takes 11,000 man hours.
