		Between 1942 and 1945 the Bell Aircraft Corporation transformed Marietta from the small seat of rural Cobb County to one of the main industrial centers of the Sunbelt.
		The decision to place Bell Bomber in Marietta was the result of fortuitous circumstances and a generation of dynamic local leaders determined to bring their community out of the Great Depression.
		Bell Bomber reached its peak employment of 28,158 workers in February 1945.

		At that time Bell was already a manufacturer of conventional aircraft such as the WWII fighter P-39 Airacobra and the P-59, America's first jet-powered airplane.
		And since Bell Aircraft Corporation's reputation for helicopter manufacture began to rival its reputation as a builder of conventional aircraft, the company created a separate helicopter division which was headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.
		A derivative of the Bell 47, it is the

	BELL FL AIRABONITA
		Bell had a long and distinguished career in aviation having worked for the Glenn L. Martin Company, where he rose to vice-president and general manager, and the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation, where he became general manager.
		Bell’s design, the Bell Model 1, was accepted and a development contract was signed for one XFM-1 Airacuda on 4 June 1936; this was later followed by a development contract in May 1938 for thirteen YFM-1s but only nine were built.
		To increase stability, the wing span, chord, and dihedral of the wing were increased, the length of the fuselage was reduced, the flaps were enlarged to reduce stall speed, and the vertical tail surfaces were modified to maintain longitudinal stability during carrier landings.

		Bell Aircraft developed the nation's first jet VTOL three years ago with its own funds to explore the directed-thrust principle and as a result of this development program received an Air Force contract to design and build the X-14.
		The ejected air positions the aircraft during hovering and slow speed forward flight just as the conventional airplane control surfaces provide directional control during normal flight.
		Bell engineers devised this technique for use on the company's first experimental VTOL, which was powered by two Fairchild J-44 turbojet engines.

		The Bell 47 was designed by Arthur Young (1905-1995), who first built and demonstrated a viable helicopter model in the early 1930’s.
		A sequence of successful models led to the design of the Bell 47, and on March 8, 1946, the commercial helicopter industry began as it was granted the world’s first commercial license.
		Distinguishable by its bubble shape, The Bell 47 went on to prove vital during the Korean War and was fundamental in developing helicopter rescue operations.

	X-Planes
		While prototype and experimental aircraft were not new, the X-planes were significant because they were solely intended to develop technology in general, not lead to operational aircraft.
		Unlike the earlier aircraft, it was not rocket-powered or dropped from the belly of a bomber, but instead took off from the ground like a conventional aircraft with jet engines.
		The Skystreaks were turpojet powered aircraft that took off from the ground under their own power and had straight wings and tails.

	EXPO21XX - Bell Helicopter
		Larry Bell, a successful entrepreneur and founder of the Bell Aircraft Corporation, was so impressed with Young's efforts that in 1941 he set the youthful inventor up in a small shop in Gardenville, New York, about ten miles from Bell's Buffalo headquarters.
		Bell Aircraft Corporation had already won considerable respect as the manufacturer of conventional aircraft such as the P-39 Airacobra and the P-59, America's first jet-powered airplane.
		Today Bell Helicopter is hard at work on concepts that would defy even the imaginations of da Vinci, Young and Bell.

		When the aircraft was hovering or in slow flight, exhaust ducts on the wingtips provided roll control, while an assembly of valves and exhaust pipes mounted on the tail provided pitch and yaw control.
		During a flight in February, a compressor disc failed while the ATV was hovering, resulting in a fire and significant damage to the aircraft.
		With the data it provided, Bell was able to improve upon the concept and make a substantial contribution to the VTOL field.

	Bell XP-63 Kingcobra
		The P-63 Kingcobra was the result of an attempt on the part of the Bell Aircraft Corporation to correct some of the deficiencies of the earlier P-39 Airacobra.
		The deficiencies of the Airacobra were not due to any intrinsic flaw in the basic design, but were caused primarily by low engine power at high altitudes due to the unfortunate initial decision to omit the two-stage turbosupercharger.
		In February of 1941, the Bell Aircraft Corporation proposed to cure some of Airacobra's performance problems by mating the basic P-39D fuselage to an uprated engine and a laminar flow wing.

		Larry Bell advised his people that the commercial utilization of the Model 47 be exploited to the fullest in order to lay out the groundwork for an industry that could flourish in peacetime as well as war.
		Bell also started the first commercial rotary-wing school for the training of helicopters and mechanics the summer of 1946.
		He felt that it was the ideal aircraft because of its unique ability to hover and fly slowly, for his newly designed sensitive magnetic instruments.
