N63990 Robinson R22
Superior performance, outstanding reliability, and exceptional value have made the two-seat R22 the world's most popular entry-level helicopter for nearly two decades. The R22 is a classic example of design excellence.

Low Noise Level. Heavy-duty muffler and low tail rotor tip speed make the R22 a "community friendly," quiet helicopter. Thick acoustical foam achieves surprisingly low cabin noise levels.

Visibility. Comfortable seating for two with wide, unobstructed views. Large windows in each door allow clear sideward vision from both seats.

T-Bar Cyclic. Robinson's patented cyclic design eliminates uncomfortable stick between knees and eases cabin entry and exit.

Ample Baggage Compartments. Both seats hinge up for access to concealed storage areas for carry-on bags, briefcases, supplies, and other belongings.

Heating and Ventilation. Fresh air vents in the cabin nose and each door provide generous ventilation for pilot and passenger. The optional heater distributes heat during cold weather operations. 

Off Airport Landings. High-mounted tail rotor and raised exhaust provide an added margin of safety at off-airport destinations.

Two-Bladed Main Rotor. Requires less than one-third the hangar space of a multi-bladed rotor.

Voice-Activated Intercom Standard. High-quality voice-activated intercom eliminates the need to use intercom switches during doors-on flights. Floor and hand intercom switches are included for doors-off operations.
