Robinson R44 Clipper II
The Robinson Helicopter Company of Torrance, California manufactures more civil helicopters than any other company in the world.
The company was founded in 1973 by Frank Robinson, an ex-Employee of Bell Helicopter and Hughes Helicopter Company.
Since delivering their first helicopter in 1979, Robinson Helicopter has produced (as of November 2005) over 6000 aircraft.
The company produces two models — the two-seat R22, and the four-seat R44, both of which use Lycoming piston engines virtually identical to those found in general aviation fixed-wing aircraft, e.g., Cessna 172.
