R66 Turbine S/N 500 rolled off Robinson’s production line on March 14, 2014, three and half years since the five-place helicopter was initially certified in October 2010.
The helicopter was delivered to Aviamarket, one of three R66 dealers in Russia, and will be on display at this year’s Heli-Russia Exhibition in Moscow, May 22-24. Aviamarket successfully tested the aircraft’s capabilities last year, first in April when Aviamarket pilots landed R66 S/N 0040 at the North Pole and again in September when the company organized a six week Around the World Expedition using two R66 helicopters.
To meet expanding market demands, over 100 R66 service centers and 68 R66 dealers have been established worldwide. Glass and touch-screen avionics were recently added to the R66’s options list and Robinson-engineered floats and cargo hook are currently undergoing final testing.
