General Characteristics
The Agusta-Bell AB.212 is the Italian license-built version of the U.S. Bell 212, which is a twin-engine development of the famous single-engine Bell 205 (UH-1 Huey). The dual-engine design provides significantly improved safety and performance, particularly in challenging environments (like “hot and high” conditions) and over water, making it popular for naval and paramilitary roles.
