Any mission. Every mission. Like all Robinson helicopters, the R44 Raven II and Clipper II are easy to maintain, inexpensive to own and operate, and known for steadfast performance. So what makes these stand out from the rest? In a word: versatility.

Standard features: The R44 Raven II and Clipper II have a two-bladed rotor system, streamlined instrument panels and a crashworthy fuel system. An aluminum monocoque and powder-coated steel tube structure provide a lightweight, yet robust airframe while the aerodynamic fuselage optimizes airspeed and fuel economy. Hydraulically boosted controls eliminate cyclic and collective feedback forces and provide responsive handling. A low tail-rotor tip speed and large cambered tail reduce flyover noise. Raven II and Clipper II helicopters are powered by Lycoming’s IO-540 fuel injected engine. The IO-540 delivers improved altitude performance, an increased payload of 2500 lbs, and eliminates the need for carburetor heat.

Our patented Cyclic design offers increased safety, comfort and ease of operation for pilots:

• Minimizes the risk of interference from passengers or objects in the cockpit.
• Requires minimal physical effort to operate, reducing pilot fatigue during long flights
• Eliminates the need for dual independent controls, simplifying operation and reducing mechanical complexity.

The Clipper II may be equipped with either fixed utility or pop-out floats, offering safety for over-water travel. Designed for emergencies, pop-out floats inflate within 2-3 seconds of activation. When not in use, pop-out floats roll-up and stow in protective covers along the aircraft’s landing skids. The streamlined, low-profile design minimizes drag and allows for easy entry and exit of the cabin. Fixed utility floats remain fully inflated, add approximately 50 pounds to the aircraft’s empty weight, and reduce cruise speed by approximately ten knots.
