This four-seater single engined helicopter, manufactured by the Robinson Helicopter Company of Torrance, is ideal for quickly transporting up to three passengers almost anywhere. It is powered by a 6-cylinder, horizontally-opposed Lycoming IO-540 engine, and has excellent visibility, perfect for aerial photography. Despite its larger dimensions, the R44 is no more difficult to operate than the R22 thanks to its advanced hydraulic system, yet it still remains one of the most affordable helicopters worldwide.
