Robinson R22 Beta II
A design classic.
A performance standard.
Combining exceptional levels of comfort and convenience with the industry's lowest operating costs, it's no surprise that the two-seater R22 is such a popular entry-level helicopter. Its phenomenal performance and reliability give no indication of its modest price.
Built for versatility and dependability, the R22 is a favourite for flight training. Its consistency in operation make it the ideal choice for radio traffic watch, power line patrol, and other uses that require ease of use, and trouble-free maintenance.
You will be surprised at how generously equipped the Beta II is. The cabin provides comfortable seating for two, with unobstructed visibility from both seats, and removable dual controls on the passenger side.
The R22 is easily handled on the ground by one person due to its exceptionally light empty weight. Specialised acoustical foam delivers surprisingly low cabin noise levels, while a low tail rotor tip speed ensures minimised external noise.
The R22 has broken records for speed and distance in its class. Its distinctive design allows a cruise speed up to 110mph and an average fuel consumption of just 30 to 45 litres per hour.
Take a flight in the R22 and you will appreciate just why more than 3,600 have been bought in more than 60 countries around the world.
