Revenue for aviation division grew due to more deliveries

Bell helicopter’s V-22 and commercial aircraft deliveries declined
Bell carries out the sales and service of helicopters, tiltrotor aircraft, and spares. The division’s revenue decreased by -6.2%, from US$3.5 billion in 2015 to US$3.2 billion in 2016, partly due to fewer commercial aircraft deliveries in 2016.
