R22 BETA II

Robinson’s two-seat R22 Beta II is flown throughout the world for many applications, ranging from flight training to livestock mustering to pipeline patrol. R22s are powered by Lycoming’s O-360 four-cylinder, carburettor engine fuelled with 100L grade aviation gasoline. This 145 hp engine is de-rated to 131 hp for take-off and 124 hp for continuous operation. A lightweight steel-tube airframe and aerodynamic shape gives the R22 a cruise speed of up to 90 knots and an average fuel consumption of only 7-10 gallons per hour. Occupants have panoramic views due to the R22’s large windows. Acoustical foam lowers cabin noise and a heavy-duty muffler and low tail-rotor tip speed lessen fly-over noise.
