The world's most luxurious helicopter on sale for $15MILLION
With a
luxurious 88-square-foot cabin and space to fit 20 passengers in
boardroom-style comfort, the Bell 525 Relentless is likely to make some
high-flyers seriously happy when it takes to the skies this year.
The
manufacturers of the state-of-the-art helicopter, Textron, are yet to
officially release a price but industry observers are listing it at a
whopping $15million for what looks effectively like a living
room that can fly just about anywhere.
Once
it flies for the first time a little behind schedule, the helicopter
will cruise at a maximum of 178 miles per hour and with its 2,4000-litre
fuel capacity be able to fly up to 575 miles without stopping.
The craft
is aimed to be a limo in the sky for offshore oil and operations and
also expects to be used for difficult search-and-rescue and firefighting
missions due to its huge capacity and improved control in tough
conditions.,

Bell 525 Relentless is a marvel of modern technology that will provide
our customers capability beyond expectations,' Fred Hees, CEO of BBM Inc
which is one of the first companies to purchase the 525, told helicopterinvestor.com.
