Like Robinson Helicopter’s smaller R44 and R22 models, Frank Robinson wanted the R66 to deliver better and more economical performance than its competitors.

Founder Frank Robinson began designing the R66 turbine-powered aircraft in 2001 when he saw a need to replace the aging Bell Jet Ranger helicopter. Robinson Helicopter’s R66 Newscopter is based on the highly successful R66 helicopter model.
