| Introduced in 1955, this was a deluxe version of the Model 47G. It had an enclosed sound-proofed cabin which could accommodate one pilot and two passengers. The cabin had leather upholstery throughout as well as a leather covered dashboard grouping all electrical switches and carburettor controls. The metal monocoque tail boom contained a luggage compartment. A.J.Pelletier "Bell Aircraft since 1935", 1992
This model marked Bell's return to a streamlined and entirely enclosed design. Its metal monocoque tail boom contains a baggage compartment big enough to take all the luggage carried by those travelling in this three-seater. The cabin's width has been increased to 1.52 metres, so that motor vehicle-size seats can be used. P.Lambermont "Helicopters and Autogyros of the World", 1958

Enjoyed seeing it again with a new paint job. | | Jim Work, iwork2=tds.net, 17.10.2010 I once owned this aircraft, ( N2831B ) Hov-Air Inc. Livonia , MI Sorry for selling it . Always was a tame and great handling ship. Nothing smoother than wooden blades if you take care of them. Your tech info on VNE & cruise speed is stretching it. Must be propaganda put out by Bell in a sales brochure. Retreating blade stall at about 120 would shake your fillings out ! Last I heard it was out on the West coast.
