Hi,
http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2006/02/27/205200/bell-launches-honeywell-hts900-powered-417-to-rival-eurocopter.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_407
(The ARH-70 armed reconnaissance helicopter, developed for
the U.S. Army was based on the 407, but was later canceled
on October 16, 2008.
The Bell 417 was a growth variant of the Bell 407, in essence
a civil version of the Bell ARH-70. The 417 made its first flight
on June 8, 2006. The 417 was to be powered by a Honeywell
HTS900 turboshaft engine, producing 970 shp (720 kW) and
includes full FADEC controls. The cabin will seat 5 passengers
in club-seating configuration, in addition to the crew of two.
The civilian 417 was canceled at Heli-Expo 2007 in Orlando).
