However, the Bureau fully recognises that the implementation of recommendations arising from its investigations will in some cases incur a cost to the industry. Consequently, the Bureau always attempts to ensure that common sense applies whenever recommendations are formulated. BASI does not have the resources to carry out a full cost- benefit analysis of every recommendation. The cost of any recommendation must always be balanced against its benefits to safety, and aviation safety involves the whole community. Such analysis is a matter for the CAA and the industry.

As compared with its neighbours, it had a relatively larger population, a better developed techno-industrial base and a higher oil production rate (second only to Saudi Arabia). After the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, the excess of oil revenues as a result of the oil price increase was used to convert the Iranian oil wealth into a sizable military machine.

Bell Helicopter Corporation
Bell Helicopter Corporation In the early 1930 's, Arthur Young , a brilliant young inventor, built and successfully demonstrated a viable, flyable helicopter model. 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 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. In addition, Bell was to develop the X-1, which was to become the world's first super- sonic plane. By 1951, Bell helicopters were in service around the world, breaking records as fast as they were setting them. 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. Today, with Bell helicopters flying in more than 120 different countries , they are logging another ten hours every minute of every day. 1935 : Bell Aircraft Corporation 56 employees make up the entire staff of the newly found Corporation. 1941 : Development begins on the first Bell helicopter. With a tethered control line model, Arthur Young proves his invention is workable. 1942 : Gardenville, New York becames the site for Arthur Young and his apprentice, Bartram Kelley to produce a full-size vertical takeoff aircraft. 1943 : Bell 30 The ship #1 nicknamed Genevieve flies for the first time 1945 : Bell 47 ( H-13 Sioux ) The Model 47 would subsequently set the stage for a whole new industry.
