Onboard Tapped for Bell 429 Cargo Hook
The light twin will get the Talon LC cargo hook system.
Bell Helicopter has selected Onboard Systems International to provide its Talon LC hydraulic-release external cargo hook system for the Bell 429 light twin. Bell requested the system to fulfill an order for 15 Bell 429s with external cargo hook systems for the Canadian Coast Guard. The hook will include an onboard weighing system with an NVG cockpit display and be available for Bell factory installation this year.
