R22 Beta II ::
Superior performance,
outstanding reliability, and exceptional value have made the two-seat R22
the world's most popular entry-level helicopter for nearly two decades.
More than 3,000 R22 helicopters have been delivered to 60 countries around
the globe. The R22 holds every performance record in its weight class including
speed, altitude, and distance. And the latest R22 Beta II is still sensibly
priced with the industry's lowest cost of operation.
The Beta II is generously equipped and offers a wide selection of options. Standard
features include a precision-engineered RPM governor, a durable rotor brake,
an auxiliary fuel system for added versatility and increased range, plus a high-quality
voice-activated intercom. The Beta II's clean aerodynamic design allows a high
cruise speed up to 110 mph and an average fuel consumption of only 7 to 10 gallons
per hour. The cabin provides comfortable seating for two with removable dual
controls on the passenger side.

The R22 is a classic example
of design excellence. No other helicopter in its class can match its speed,
reliability, affordable price, and low operating costs. The R22 has fewer
accidents due to aircraft or engine failure than other light helicopters,
and Robinson's commitment to the highest quality in design, materials,
and craftsmanship make it the enduring choice for flight training, radio
traffic watch, power line patrol, and other applications that require performance,
dependability, efficiency, and easy maintenance.
