Description
The Robinson R44 – four seat helicopter is the most popular helicopter in the world today. Over 3000 R44 helicopters have been sold. The Robinson R44 Raven II is the latest derivative of the very successful and proven R44 helicopter line and now available with HeliSAS and Autopilot. Exceed Expectations. The ideal blend of proven and innovative engineering. Delivering cutting edge, industry leading and reliable helicopters both for your own travel as well as with customization options for a huge range of missions and applications. Robinson R44 Operating Performance The new fuel-injected engine provides higher power for better performance and eliminates the need for carburettor heat. The engine is de-rated to 245 HP for 5 minutes and 205 HP maximum continuous rating, to assure a longer life and lower cost of maintenance. Overall, the Raven II provides a favourable 100 lb increase in the Robinson R44’s gross weight and increased IGE and OGE hover ceilings. Another major enhancement is the reduced noise level of the Raven II. The quieter helicopter features redesigned main and tail rotor blades. Both sets of rotors are fitted with noise attenuating blade tip caps that decrease flyover noise by 1dB. The main rotor blades also have more surface area for increased lifting capability at altitude. Robinson R44 Versatility The Raven II is equipped with a fuel-injected, angle-valve, tuned-induction, IO-540 Lycoming engine which produces substantially more power and gives the R44 Raven II greater altitude performance, more payload, and increased speed. The Robinson R44 Raven II configuration is also available as an IFR Trainer, Newscopter, Police Helicopter, and Clipper II (with floats). And why not add the HeliSAS and Autopilot too.
