About us
Robinson Helicopter Company was founded in 1973 by Frank Robinson, whose vision was to produce the world’s highest quality, most reliable helicopters in the most efficient, cost effective way possible. Robinson introduced the two-place piston powered R22 in 1979. The affordable, personal-type design quickly made helicopter ownership accessible to a broader audience and changed the face of general aviation. Today, the company’s top sellers are its R44 and R66 helicopters, respectively. To date, Robinson Helicopter Company has produced more than 13,000 helicopters. Robinson puts great emphasis on research and development, continually making improvements and offering new technology. Among its latest introductions are a cargo hook for the R66 and an autopilot designed specifically for helicopters. Robinson manufactures, assembles, inspects, and flight tests all of its helicopters at its Torrance, California factory. To ensure the highest quality and to maximize efficiency, the company manufactures a large percentage of parts in house and employs a highly skilled workforce. Robinson also offers monthly pilot safety and maintenance courses at the factory that attract a global audience.

This was my last interview at European Rotors but definitely one of my favorite ones. Paul "Foo" Kennard know so much about our industry that the discussion is always touching on things that other folks miss. This time, Paul and I chat about the hazards of CFIT and IIMC and what Robinson Helicopter Company is doing to address the top causes of fatal helicopter accidents. Spoiler alert: More engines won’t help reduce the leading causes of fatal accidents. I hope you enjoy the interview!
Check out Paul "Foo" Kennard interview with Robinson Helicopter Company David Smith chatting about all things R88 and some of their other projects. #r88 #robinsonheli #helicopter #heliopsmag Robyn Eagles https://lnkd.in/gcE7Xn7p

Robinson Helicopter Company and Safran Helicopter Engines showcased the progress of the new R88 helicopter at European Rotors. Powered by the 950 shp Arriel 2W engine, the R88 is the only helicopter to include Safran’s comprehensive Serenity support package as a standard feature. This package provides operators with 5 years or 2,000 hours of coverage, AOG incident service, and access to Safran's global MRO network, ensuring maximum availability and predictable costs. This collaboration underscores our commitment to empowering operations across the globe with a multi-mission capable platform that redefines class expectations for performance, reliability, and affordability.

I was at #EuropeanRotors trade in Cologne, a key opportunity to better capture the situation of the helicopter industry in #Europe and meet our customers in this region. Driven by government, local authorities and some economic sectors to satisfy parapublic, military and aerial work needs, the helicopter market is definitely booming. And here more than ever, we are promoting the importance of helicopters in protecting and serving European citizens and their respective nations. For Safran Helicopter Engines, 2025 is a year of strong momentum in our engine development, marked by the exclusive selection of two new engine variants for two new helicopters: the Airbus Helicopters #H140 powered by the #Arrius 2E, and the Robinson Helicopter Company #R88 powered with the #Arriel 2W. As such, I was thrilled to join David Smith, Robinson CEO, in presenting the R88 for the first time on the European market. Thank you very much, David, for this unique opportunity to present to the market a joint and differentiating offering that is highly optimised for our future customers. No doubt this new helicopter is bound to a great success and to render invaluable services to various operators carrying out very demanding missions in Europe and all other continents.

Robinson is committed to addressing and eliminating the top causes of fatal helicopter accidents. Wirestrikes and Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) accounted for nearly 25% of all fatal accidents in our fleet over the last 20 years. Almost every year we have 1 or 2 fatal collisions with trees or wires. Smart application of technology can help make this a thing of the past and LAKE FUSION Technologies GmbH is leading the way in aviation terrain and obstacle awareness LIDAR. We are proud to partner with them on the road to zero fatal accidents in our fleet. #avistionsafety #helicopters #Safety #ClimbHigher
🚁 Robinson Helicopter Company and LAKE FUSION Technologies Sign Teaming Agreement 🚁 We are excited to announce that LAKE FUSION Technologies has signed a Teaming Agreement with Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC) to jointly explore the integration of our LiDAR-based Situational Awareness System (SitAwS) into Robinson helicopters. With SitAwS, our goal is to further enhance flight safety and operational efficiency – especially in challenging environments and degraded visual conditions. The system is designed to: 🔹 detect obstacles in real time 🔹 improve pilot situational awareness 🔹 support safe operations in demanding scenarios 🔹 bring an advanced obstacle-detection solution to the rotorcraft community We are proud to collaborate with RHC to advance next-generation safety technologies for helicopters – benefiting pilots, operators, and the entire rotorcraft community.
