Robinson Helicopter Company was founded in 1973 by Frank Robinson, whose vision was to produce the world’s highest quality, most reliable helicopters in the most efficient, cost effective way possible. Robinson introduced the two-place piston powered R22 in 1979. The affordable, personal-type design quickly made helicopter ownership accessible to a broader audience and changed the face of general aviation. Today, the company’s top sellers are its R44 and R66 helicopters, respectively. To date, Robinson Helicopter Company has produced more than 13,000 helicopters. Robinson puts great emphasis on research and development, continually making improvements and offering new technology. Among its latest introductions are a cargo hook for the R66 and an autopilot designed specifically for helicopters. Robinson manufactures, assembles, inspects, and flight tests all of its helicopters at its Torrance, California factory. To ensure the highest quality and to maximize efficiency, the company manufactures a large percentage of parts in house and employs a highly skilled workforce. Robinson also offers monthly pilot safety and maintenance courses at the factory that attract a global audience.

Robinson Helicopter's optional impact-resistant windshields are designed to withstand high-speed bird strikes. This incident footage, provided by @ helicommand, illustrates how quickly a bird strike or other foreign object debris (FOD) impact can occur and the force it can deliver. Constructed from durable polycarbonate, these windshields provide an additional layer of protection without significantly adding to weight or maintenance requirements. Impact-resistant windshields are available on all Robinson Helicopter models.

Great post from Jonny Greenall. Training is exceptionally important work but needs to be performed with safety at the forefront.
I was asked to write this presentation by EASA as part of my working in the EASA Safety Promotion Group - Rotorcraft (ESPN-R) to present at the 2024 European Rotors. I'd like to thank you all for reading, and comments made. It has been great with all the feedback and experiences of lessons learnt, The list could be extended to well over a hundred slides, and if one thing in this presentation makes one pilot better in this world then it has been worthwhile. If you would like a full PDF copy of the last 2 weeks of each slide and notes please email me info@balearic-helicopters.com or message me on here with your email address and I'll send on to you. It will also be available, shortly, on the EASA website to download. Ironically, this final slide was the opening one, rather than the closing one...

Congratulations to Rotor Technologies and Hector Xu for a flawless public demonstration of the Sprayhawk! It has been a pleasure to get to collaborate with them since I joined Robinson Helicopter Company last year. We are in a golden age of aviation where much of the world’s best engineering talent is focused on vertical lift and unmanned technology. I hope more of them join RHC, Ascent AeroSystems or Rotor Technologies on our journey disrupt the industry and radically improve safety and utility in the years ahead.
Spent the afternoon with Michael Seal in the Dallas/Fort Worth area today, more specifically at Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport visiting with the Rotor Technologies team listening to representatives from the FAA, other industry partners as well as Hector Xu. As a special treat we even got to see a short test flight with the SprayHawk!!! #innovation #rotor #agriculture #agsprayer

"The Robinson Helicopter is amazing because of its versatility. I can be out spraying any number of crops one day. I can take the gear off and I can go and muster sheep and cattle the next day or that same afternoon. It can do it all." —Bryce Nietvelt, Chief Pilot & Managing Director of Riverina Helicopters #farmtotable #familyfarm #farming #farm #agriculture #AgriTech #PrecisionAgriculture #PrecisionFarming #SmartFarming
Robinson helicopters are operated worldwide for a variety of aerial application missions. From efficient seeding and crop protection to promoting pollination, the R44 and R66 can be adapted to tackle tough jobs day after day. #farmtotable #familyfarm #farming #farm #agriculture #AgriTech #PrecisionAgriculture #PrecisionFarming #SmartFarming
See why Robinson helicopters are the preferred choice for aerial application and light utility work in agriculture. 🚁 We're exhibiting at the National Agricultural Aviation Association's 2024 Ag Aviation Expo in Fort Worth, Texas, from November 19–20. Visit booth #1541 to learn how the performance and accessibility of the R44 and R66 helicopters combine to create a versatile platform for tough jobs.
