Viper1 your info is spot on. Friends at Bell were telling me they took it as a trade in on a new aircraft and decided to do some very detailed looky looky at it. Its the same as what the chinese did with the AS350, and hey presto they came up with the Z-11 (even though it looks nearly identical).
Look at the Indians with the DHRUV, looks very very similar to the BK117 doesnt it 🙄
Bell have some good things in the works and time will tell.
