Mike Redenbaugh, chief executive officer of Bell Helicopter, has announced the formation of a new organisation within Bell Helicopter. The new organisation is identified as Bell XWORX.
Speaking about Bell XWORX, Mr. Redenbaugh said; “The Bell XWORX will bring together several organisations that have been developing new ideas and products at Bell Helicopter for many years. Now, all of them will be contained in one organisation. The synergy of effort that results will provide Bell, and thus our customers, a tremendous development capability.”
The Bell XWORX will be responsible for the rapid development and prototyping on new vertical solutions for emerging and changing requirements. It will address all aspects of the industry including manufacturing processes, cost containment and new technology integration. Located at the Bell facility in Arlington, Texas, the Bell XWORX has already begun work on numerous projects, to include the full-scale flying prototype of the HV-911 Eagle Eye UAV.
