Robinson R22
The Robinson R22 is a light civil helicopter, 2 places, produced by the company Robinson Helicopter since 1979. Equipped with a piston engine of Lycoming mark, it is characterized by its low costs from exploitation and thus is very appreciated for the school of beginning although its piloting is considered to be particularly delicate because of the weak inertia resulting from a two-bladed rotor and an engine from low power.
A few years after its exit Robinson R22 gave rise to a more roomy and more powerful machine, the Robinson R44, equipped with a piston engine 6 cylinders 245 cv and being able to carry four people.
