The world's most popular training helicopter
Robinson R22
R22 In Numbers
The Robinson R22 is a 2-bladed, standard configuration, reciprocating engine powered helicopter. It was one of the original designs of the Robinson company, and has been a staple in training and personal rotary aviation ever since. The R22 makes an excellent initial or recurrent training aircraft.
Pollux Aviation has also operated these machines in an ultra-light utility role - and if a job can be accomplished with the R22, there is no helicopter more economical and simple for the task.
