Agusta-Bell AB.102

The Agusta AB.102 was an Italian helicopter produced in small numbers in the early 1960s. The aircraft was based on the mechanical components of a Bell 48 that Agusta incorporated into an all-new streamlined fuselage. The first flight was on 3 February 1959 and the prototype was exhibited at that year's Paris Air Show in faux military colours. Only two production examples were built operated by Elivie in a regular air service between Turin and Milan from 1961.

Made by Agusta.

It is the successor of the Bell H-12 .
