Assembly of the Bell Model 49. Note the horizontal engine installation and rotor system. The Bell Model 49 was designed as a follow on to the Bell Model 30 Ship 3 and the Bell Model 47 to determine the feasibility of utilizing a co-axial rotor system to eliminate the tail rotor system and to provide more power to the main rotor system.
