This is basically a Bell 212 but fitted with a new composite four-blade rotor. First flown in 1981, the 412 incorporated a new four-blade rotor system to replace the two-blade teetering rotor system. Bell had spent some time experimenting and developing their new family of composite blades. The new four-blade design gave the Bell 412 an improved performance with reduced noise and vibration. The first modified 412s flew in 1979. The new design had a steel and light alloy main rotor head with elastomeric bearings and dampers. The blades, fitted with a Nomex honeycomb core, are bonded together by glassfibre wrapping incorporating anti-icing heater mats and are interchangeable. The elastomeric bearings of the hub eliminate both mechanical hinges and heavy, viscous dampers. This improves the ride and also extends the rotor system life, while the flex beam yoke of the main rotor hub provides quick control response. The new bearings require no lubrication and require only a quick visual inspection to confirm integrity. In the drive system, five of the six-rotor drive shaft sections are interchangeable, reducing spares. Main transmission chip detectors help protect the system and will alert the pilot to possible problems. The four composite blades have an unlimited life and are exceptionally strong. Span wise variation of their chord, twist and thickness of airfoils give added turning and aerodynamic efficiency. The 412SP (Special Performance) is powered by Pratt & Whitney PT6T-3B-1 turbo Twin-Pacs developing around 1400shp and has a maximum speed of 260kph and a range of over 650km.

In 1986 Bell produced the 412 Attack Helicopter (AH) based on the Bell 412SP. It is armed with a nose-mounted Lucas Aerospace under-nose turret fitted with a 0.50 calibre machine-gun. The gun is slaved into a helmet-mounted sight produced by Sperry and can fire up to 875 rounds of ammunition. The 412AH has a maximum speed of 220kph and can also be armed with air-to-ground rockets.

Under the designation Bell Model 412, the company has developed a version of the Model 212 which introduces a new four-bladed main rotor of advanced design. Each blade is constructed of glassfibre and Nomex honeycomb, incorporates a titanium abrasion strip on the leading edge, has lightning-protecting mesh included in the blade structure, and also has provisions for the inclusion of de-icing heater elements if required. The rotor hub is also of new design, being of steel and light alloy structure, with elastomeric bearings and dampers. Two new Model 212s were modified for use in the development prgramme of this new helicopter/with both IFR and VFR certification gained by 13 February 1980. The initial delivery of a VFR certificated aircraft was made on 18 January 1981, and two were delivered to the Venezuelan Air Force later in the year.

The latest production version is the Model 412SP, with a 55% increase in fuel capacity and other improvements. 100 of these are being built by IPTN in Indonesia, while Helikopter Services A/S is assembling 17 for the Royal Norwegian Air Force. By January 1989, 162 Model 412s had been delivered.

Agusta in Italy manufactures the type as the AB 412SP, and has delivered over 75. It has developed the Griffon, a strengthened version for military duties, the prototype flying in August 1982.
