Robinson R44
Single engine utility helicopter
The R44 is a single-engine helicopter, mostly used for utility, passenger transport, surveys, and training.
The four-seat R44 helicopters are reliable, high-performing, and easy to maintain. They feature a two-bladed rotor system, T-bar cyclic, streamlined instrument panels, and a crashworthy fuel system. Their lightweight yet durable aluminum and steel airframe enhances speed and fuel efficiency. Hydraulically boosted controls ensure smooth handling, while low tail-rotor tip speed reduces noise. Powered by Lycoming’s IO-540 engine, they offer superior altitude performance and increased payload.
