Rh66 Turbine?

They may (Robinson) not manufacture a turbine powered R44, but there is always the chance of an STC........like the 47 Soloys. Yes, it does look like a 47 J2A..........those were the days, real helicopters!!

At HAI Frank held a press conference that was a bit of a non event. He did mention a six place machine but only as a pipe dream. The focus for them is refining and improving the R44 and R22 line. He is entertaining the idea of an engine change but a turbine is the absolute last resort. He wants to keep his machines affordable to the average punter. He is leaning more towards diesel types. As for a 500 on the ramp I am sure Frank has a good comand of that type. He was at Hughes for years before he went out alone.
