Iran President Helicopter Crash: Bell 212 (also known as Bell Two-Twelve). It is a two-bladed, medium helicopter which first flew in 1968. Originally built by Bell Helicopter in Fort Worth, Texas. After this, the product was transferred to Mirabel, Quebec, Canada. After that plant opened in 1986, all Bell commercial helicopter production was transferred along with it. 

The double-engined Bell 212 is an American transport helicopter. It was developed with the cooperation of the Canadian government in the mid-1960s. This came after the success of the successful Bell 205 helicopter. Like earlier Bell Helicopters, the Bell 212 was produced under license in Italy as the AB-212. 

Bell 212 is based on the long fuselage of Bell 205. While the Bell 205 came with one large engine, the Bell 212 has two smaller engines side by side. Both engines provide their power to a combined gearbox which is connected to the shaft. There are many part shares with the Bell 205, including the airframe and main and tail rotors.

The Bell 212 is driven by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6T-3 twin-pack composed of two coupled PT6 power turbines driving a common gearbox. They are capable of generating up to 1,800 hp (1,342 kW). If one power section fails the remaining sections can provide 900 hp (671 kW) for 30 minutes or 765 hp (571 kW) continuously. With which the helicopter can be operated. 

In 1979, the 212 became the first American helicopter to be sold in the People's Republic of China, with the purchase of eight by the Civil Air Authority.

The ICAO designator for this helicopter used in the flight plan is "B212". Bell further developed the Model 212 along with the Bell 412. The biggest difference is the four-bladed main rotor. The last Bell 212 was delivered in 1998.
