Mighty Mite: The Rolls Royce RR300
from recent posts - blip.tv (beta) July 24, 2008
Rolls-Royce RR300 Will Power New Robinson R66 Helicopter In March of 2007, Rolls Royce made it official... that they were building a "next-generation" small turbine engine for the civil helicopter market, and it had been selected to power the Robinson R66 Helo. More than "just" a follow-on to the highly-regarded Allison/Rolls 250, the 215 pound Rolls-Royce RR300 is rated at 300shp. According to RR, the new RR300 engine represents a 'major step forward' in the helicopter industry by providing 300 shaft horsepower at takeoff, excellent hot and high performance and outstanding value. The RR300 makes Rolls-Royce turbine power available in the lower shp range. The engine is first destined for installation in future production Robinson R66 helos. The new R66 five-seater is Robinson Helicopter Company s first venture into gas turbine-powered rotorcraft and will complement the company s existing line of piston-powered aircraft -- which have been the best selling helos in the business for many years. Rolls-Royce received FAA type certification last year with full-rate production now underway and trhe first production engine shipped to RHC last march. Under the agreement with Robinson Helicopter, Rolls-Royce will provide several hundred RR300 engines in upcoming years. A prototype RR300 engine has been flying on a Robinson helicopter prototype since mid-2007. Key attributes of the RR300 reportedly include: lower acquisition and operating costs; low-weight, compact design; improved specific fuel consumption; an embedded engine monitoring system; and an optional, through-life, peace-of-mind maintenance program. The previous Model 250 line has produced nearly 30,000 engines, with approximately 16,000 currently in service worldwide in a wide range of aircraft styles. In addition to orders with Robinson Helicopters, Rolls-Royce also signed Memoranda of Understanding with Enstrom Helicopters, Schweizer Aircraft and MD Helicopters to evaluate future applications of the new RR300 engine family.

ALL Things Robinson: RHC's Founder Talks About The Future (Part 2)
from recent posts - blip.tv (beta) July 23, 2008
Frank Talks About The Future of The R44, Helo Training, The Silver State Fiasco, And More! Life has been good for Frank Robinson and the R22/44/66 family. After years of building expertise throughout the helicopter industry, Frank Robinson set out several decades ago to do what they said could not be done... create a powerful new civil helicopter company. He did it... and probably did so beyond even his own imaginings. For example, as 2007 was coming to a close, the folks at Robinson Helicopter Company achieved another milestone when their 8000th helicopter was flight certified. The new, solid green, Robinson R44 Raven II S/N 11984 was ordered by SkySales Aviation (Christchurch, New Zealand) for a private owner. In the past few months, RHC played host to a visit by President Bush... no doubt attracted by RHC's exceptional overseas helicopter sales... making them a major aerospace exporter and a great place to do a little 'politicking.' In RHC, White House staffers chose an appropriate location for President Bush to hawk the benefits of foreign trade since Robinson Helicopters sells 70 percent of its production overseas. A point hammered home by the President. "You can't tell the people at Robinson Helicopter that trade isn't good," Bush said Wednesday. "When 70% of that which you manufacture gets sold somewhere else other than the United States, they ought to have a sign walking in here and say, 'Trade is not only good, it is great; and we want the federal government to make it easier for us to sell products.'" Better yet, work continues on Frank's next design... the Rolls Royce RR300 powered turbine helicopter...a first for RHC. Robinson Helicopter Company was founded in 1973. The first R22 was delivered in October 1979. In 1993, the R44 came online and is now the best selling helicopter in the world. The R44 is offered in two models: The Raven I and the more powerful Raven II. The Raven II is available in four specialty configurations: Police Helicopter, Newscopter, Clipper, and IFR Trainer. Robinson Helicopter Company is the world s leading manufacturer of civil helicopters.
