Robinson Helicopter Inc. is pleased to announce the installation of a new turbine for his R66 helicopter. The company also said that the R66 will be sold through the dealer network Robinson.
The new helicopter, first flight in 2007, is powered by a Rolls-Royce da 225-hp Turbine (new aspect to the American company). The engine was built for Robinson, and is a derivative of the modern Rolls-Royce 250 .
The Robinson R66 is a helicopter that incorporates many of the design features of its predecessor, l'R44, including the system of two rotor blades, configuration in the cabin. The most notable differences are its more power in reserve, greater altitude performance and a large luggage compartment. Landing lights, leather seats, and a control panel stereo audio are standard in the R66.
