The five-seat R66 TURBINE helicopter is reliable, economical and easy to maintain. R66s have a two-bladed rotor system, T-bar cyclic, hydraulically boosted controls that eliminate cyclic and collective feedback forces and streamlined instrument panels. The R66’s spacious 300 lb. capacity baggage compartment along with the powerful Rolls Royce RR300 turbine engine give operators greater utility. The lightweight RR300 engine operates on readily available Jet A fuel, delivering increased reserve power, additional payload, and improved altitude performance. The R66 meets the FAA’s current crashworthiness regulations with energy absorbing seats and a crashworthy fuel system.
The baggage compartment in the R66 Turbine is a game changer. Measuring approximately 24″ H x 33′ W x 40″ D, located aft of the rear R/H seat
