[edit] History

Bell Helicopter has a close association with AgustaWestland. The partnership dates back to separate manufacturing and technology agreements with Agusta (Bell 47 and Bell 206) and as a sublicence via Agusta with Westland (Bell 47).^[1] When the two European firms merged, the partnerships were retained, with the exception of the AB139, which is now known as the AW139.
