R22 BETA II
MODEST, BUT MIGHTY. A true workhorse, the two-seat R22 Beta II has garnered worldwide popularity for nearly 50 years due its versatility and affordability — perfect for everything from flight training to livestock management.
ABOUT THE R22 BETA II
Colossal performance in a compact package: The R22 features exceptional tail rotor authority for precise maneuvering. An aluminum monocoque and powder-coated steel tube structure provides a lightweight, yet robust airframe while the aerodynamic fuselage optimizes airspeed and fuel economy. The Lycoming’s proven O-360 engine is derated to provide reserve power and better performance at high altitudes and in hot weather. It comes with the Robinson’s signature Cyclic and efficient two-bladed rotor system, and a crashworthy fuel system. In other words: it’s anything but "Beta".
