The Robinson R66 is a new five seat turbine powered helicopter to be produced by the Robinson Helicopter Company (RHC). The R66 is intended to be somewhere between Robinson's four seat piston powered R-44 Raven 2 and a Bell 206 JetRanger in terms of performance and the first Robinson Helicopter that will feature a separate cargo compartment. [ [http://www.webcitation.org/5SD0y4U8F Rotor & Wing magazine] ] A Rolls-Royce RR300 turboshaft will power the new helicopter. The R66 is expected to reach the market sometime between 2011 and 2013.
