Bell Helicopter's newest models - the 407GX and 407AH - made their international debuts at Paris yesterday. The aircraft were first shown in March at Heli-Expo 2011 in Orlando.

The 407GX features a Garmin G1000H glass flightdeck, while the 407AH is geared to parapublic missions.

After the Paris air show, the 407GX will be demonstrated throughout Europe and the 407AH will be shown around the Middle East and feature in flying displays at the BRIDEX air show in Brunei on 6-9 July.

Both aircraft are variants of the Bell 407, of which more than 1,000 have been delivered worldwide.
