Robinson R44 Family
The Robinson R44 is a light single-engine piston-helicopter family derived from the smaller R22. Its compact two-bladed rotor system, skid landing gear, accessible operating model, and two- or four-seat configurations have made it widely used for private flying, flight training, sightseeing, aerial survey, news gathering, and light utility work. Raven, Clipper, Cadet, and mission-specific variants remain in production and service worldwide.
