Description
The Raven II is where the R44 platform hits its stride. The fuel-injected Lycoming IO-540 adds real performance headroom — 2,500 lb MGTOW, approximately 350 nm range (no fuel reserve), and hover ceilings up to 8,950 ft IGE — making it equally capable at sea level or at altitude. The factory Garmin upgrade path is extensive: GTN 750Xi, GDU TXi glass panel displays, and Genesys HeliSAS autopilot are available as factory options. Clipper II variants add pop-out or fixed floats for over-water operations. Leather interior and air conditioning available. Factory-new, zero time, 2026.
Recommended avionics upgrades
No ADS-B is listed — a GTX 345 delivers required ADS-B Out plus In (traffic & weather) in one transponder.
