Aerial Recon Ltd offers both new and used R66 for sale. The R66 offers exceptional performance and operating costs. The R66 Turbine offers many of Robinson’s signature design features including a two-bladed rotor system, T-bar cyclic, and open cabin configuration. A fifth seat, dedicated cargo hold, and the Rolls Royce RR300 turboshaft engine distinguish the R66 from other Robinson aircraft.
Specifically designed for the R66, the RR300 operates on readily available jet A fuel and delivers increased reserve power, improved altitude performance and greater capacity. The R66 meets current FAA crashworthiness regulations and offers the latest in Robinson technology including energy absorbing seats and a bladder fuel system.
