R22

BETA II

The two-seater R22 helicopter is a proven workhorse that has delivered excellent performance across various applications for over forty years. The R22 features a two-bladed rotor system that requires minimal hangar space, a T-shaped cyclic control for easy ingress and egress, and a crash-resistant fuel system. Its aluminum monocoque and steel tube structure with powder coating provide a lightweight yet robust airframe, while the aerodynamic fuselage optimizes airspeed and fuel efficiency. Powered by the reliable Lycoming O-360 engine, the R22 is tuned to deliver reserve power and enhanced performance at high altitudes and in hot weather conditions.

Thanks to its affordability and versatility, the R22 helicopter is used worldwide for flight training, livestock management, and personal transportation.
