Introducing the R44 Raven II, the latest derivative of the very successful and proven R44 helicopter line. The Raven II is equipped with a fuel-injected, angle-valve, tuned-induction, IO-540 Lycoming engine which produces substantially more power and gives the Raven II greater altitude performance, more payload, and increased speed.

Standard features include a precision-engineered RPM governor, a durable rotor brake, an auxiliary fuel system for added versatility and longer range, a powerful heater/defogger, and hydraulic power controls that completely eliminate stick shake and control forces for a smooth, relaxing ride.

The Raven’s distinctive aerodynamic design allows a high cruise speed and better than average fuel consumption.

The cabin offers comfortable “two plus two” seating with removable dual controls and no bulkhead or post between the front and rear seats, assuring exceptional visibility and panoramic views for all passengers.

Robinson’s engineering emphasis on quality, reliability and performance has made the R44 Raven the world’s top-selling helicopter. It has fewer accidents due to the aircraft or engine failure than other light helicopters, and best of all, the Raven has the lowest cost per seat-mile of all helicopters.
