Robinson R44 Raven I / Clipper I

Robinson R44 Raven

The four-seat helicopter Robinson R44 Raven I / Clipper I is efficient, reliable and easy to maintain. It has been proven for years all over the world. Each R44 has a twin-blade carrier rotor, distinctive T-shaped steering wheel and shatterproof fuel tanks.

The aluminium shell construction and powder-coated truss provides low empty weight and high strength, while the aerodynamic fuselage shape reduces fuel consumption and enables a high cruising speed of 108 knots (200 km/h). Hydraulic power steering significantly reduces drag on the rudders, allowing for more confident and precise control, while the low speed of the tail rotor blade tips and large multi-chamber muffler reduce flight noise.

Robinon R44 Raven I / Clipper I helicopters are powered by a 225hp Lycoming O-540 carburettor engine, fitted as standard with carburetor preheat assist, automatically adjusting the amount of heat supplied to the carburetor, increasing safety and reducing pilot workload.

R44 Clipper I helicopters are equipped with floats that enable landing on the water.
