ABOUT THE HELICOPTER

ABOUT R22 BETA II

Impressive performance in a compact form: The R22 is distinguished by its superior tail rotor efficiency for precise maneuvering. Aluminum half-shell (monocoque) construction and powder-coated steel truss create a lightweight yet durable airframe structure. The streamlined fuselage improves cruise speed and fuel economy. The proven Lycoming O-360 engine operates at a reduced rated power, providing a power reserve and better performance at high altitudes and high temperatures. The helicopter is equipped with Robinson's signature cyclic control system and an efficient twin-blade main rotor, as well as a crashworthy fuel system. In short: it's anything but „Beta.”.
