R-22

Beta II

The R-22 Beta II helicopter is the most widely used piston two-seater helicopter on the global market. It has gained popularity due to its reliability, maneuverability, responsive handling, as well as its affordable price and low operating costs.

The R-22 Beta II is of all-metal construction, with a single two-blade main rotor and a single two-blade tail rotor. The crew sits side by side. The aircraft is equipped with fixed (non-retractable) skid landing gear. It is powered by a single Lycoming O-360-J2A engine.

The R-22 helicopter is most commonly used for pilot training, tourism, observation flights (power line patrols, transmission line inspections), as well as for cattle herding and hunting purposes (aerial shooting).

  • Reliable Engine: The Lycoming O-360 engine has a reduced power output of 131 horsepower for takeoff and 124 horsepower in cruise mode at 2562 RPM. This ensures the engine's long-term and unmatched durability.
  • Clutch Tension Mechanism: Facilitates engine starting and prevents overspeeding.
  • Carburetor Preheating: Automatic carburetor preheating facilitates pilot operation depending on the collective control position.
  • Throttle Governor: Precisely designed, it monitors engine RPM and automatically adjusts the fuel flow for optimal engine RPM.
  • Centrally Located "T" Collective Lever: Allows easy entry and exit from the helicopter cockpit. The left part of the collective lever is detachable.
  • Three-Blade Suspension: Eliminates blade lag, dampening, and droop. Stainless steel leading edges of the rotor resist dust and rain.
  • Rotor Brake: Allows the pilot to quickly stop the rotor, significantly reducing stopping time and the risk of injury to ground personnel.
  • Cabin Ventilation Doors: Provide fresh air supply for the pilot and passengers.
  • Voice-Controlled Internal Communication: Replaces switches located on the floor and control sticks.
  • Simple Ground Handling: The low weight of the empty aircraft and castering wheels allow easy ground handling by a single person. An electric handling trolley can also be used.
  • Storage Space: Both seats provide storage space for bags, briefcases, supplies, and other items.
  • Maintenance: Simplified by requiring only a check after every 50 flight hours between 100-hour inspections.
  • General Repair Time: If the helicopter is properly maintained, the airframe and engine have an interval for general repair set at 2200 flight hours or 12 years. All long-term components have a recognized service life of at least 2200 flight hours or 12 years.
  • Service Centers: Technicians trained by Robinson are available at over 400 accredited service centers worldwide.
  • Warranty Period: All helicopters come with a two-year warranty or a warranty for 1000 flight hours.
