ROBINSON R22
Reliable Engine. The dependable Lycoming 0-360 engine is derated to 131 horsepower for long life and unmatched reliability.
Patented Rotor Design. Robinson's patented tri-hinge rotor eliminates lag hinges, dampers, and hydraulic struts. Thick stainless steel leading edge on main rotor blades prevents dust and rain erosion.
Inspections. No scheduled maintenance, other than require oil change between 100-hour inspections.
Lubrication. Teflon-lined,
elastomeric and seal bearings eliminate most lubrication requirements.
Couplings. Maintenance-free flex couplings are used in place of universal joints or
gear couplings in the main and tail drive systems.
Controls. Primary controls are actuated by maintenance-free bell cranks and
push-pull tubes, eliminating less reliable control cables and pulleys.
Time between Overhaul.. 2200 hour or twelve years approved time-between-overhaul period for the R22 engine
and airframe.
All life-limited components have approved service lives of at least 2200 hours.
