Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. company, has delivered five Bell 505 aircraft to the Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF).
The delivery completes the 10 Bell 505 fleet order. This coincides with the graduation of the latest cohort of pilot cadets in a ceremony on June 24, 2024, attended by His Royal Highness, Crown Prince of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Al Hussein bin Abdullah II.
On July 6, 2022, the RJAF signed a purchase agreement for 10 Bell 505 helicopters, aimed at enhancing the RJAF’s training capabilities. Bell worked with regional partner, BGS Corporation Limited, to support this initiative with RJAF. The first five helicopters were delivered in November 2023.
As part of the program, later this year the customer will receive a flight training device and a comprehensive computer-based training package to support both basic and advanced rotorcraft flight training.
