1. Where can I find "high res" photographs of Bell Helicopter aircraft?
Answer:
At the bottom of every page of our website there are two images linking to our Image Gallery. Click either the Commercial or Military image and follow instructions there for downloading high resolution images. We are uploading new images periodically.
Exclusive photographs may be available to news and media editors by using the CONTACT link at the top navigation bar - and selecting COMMUNICATIONS & MEDIA to make the request of our Visual Communications Department.
2. Can I use photographs from your website?
Answer:
Images used in the Bell Helicopter website are subject to U.S. and international copyright laws and require a license for any commercial use; fees may also apply. Photographs may NOT be reproduced, distributed or used for any commercial purpose without the express written consent of Bell Helicopter Textron Inc.
3. Can I use the Bell logo on my website?
Answer:
Bell Helicopter logos and trademarks may not be used without written permission from Bell that is specific to a particular use. The use of Bell logos and trademarks is controlled by guidelines that protect the good will represented by Bell's worldwide trademarks. This includes and , but is not limited to, controlling the use of Bell's trademarks on approved service facility documents such as business cards, letterheads, signage and advertisements. Bell reserves the right to approve/disapprove each use of its logos or trademarks on a case by case basis
...Regarding our Customer Service Facilities:
Specifically, we do not approve the use of the company logo within another business use or on business cards other than to state: "Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. Approved Customer Service Facility ". The use of the Bell logo in an advertisement should be used well apart from the "CSF" logo and include the phrase "Approved Customer Service Facility" clearly associated with the logo.
These guidelines are general in nature.
All proposed uses of any of Bell's trademarks should be submitted to Bell Helicopter Textron Inc.'s Communications department for approval.

9. How can I receive an Annual Report for Bell?

Reports from 1999 to most current are available as an online interactive report or PDF. Copies of the annual report for Textron and its companies (Bell is just one) can be found from the Bell Helicopter website - this page, in fact:
=> Company => Textron Annual Report
(See: right hand navigation links - near the middlel of the page, bottom of the nav links)
...or directly from the Textron web site: http://www.textron.com/ir/annual_report/index.jsp
Want a hard copy of the annual report mailed to you? - In order to receive a hard copy of the annual report - provide your mailing information via << this form >>
10. Can we arrange to have a tour of your facilities?
Answer:
Bell Helicopter Textron is an enterprise with global facilities for aircraft manufacturing, both commercial and military. The military category classifies us as a national defense plant. Therefore this requires strict controls and necessarily precludes us from conducting general public tours. We regret we cannot accommodate the many requests we receive, but must comply with government restrictions.
Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT)
