Since then, the R66 has proven itself on a daily basis. <strong>Powered by the Rolls Royce RR300 turbine engine, the R66 recently surpassed 1.2 million flight hours without a single reported in-flight engine failure. <\/strong>This accomplishment demonstrates a level of reliability that exceeds EASA\u2019s stringent requirements for single-engine helicopters. The R66 has also risen to the challenges of flying to the North Pole and circumnavigating the globe multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDelivering serial number 1000 demonstrates the R66 is the top performer and leader in its class,\u201d said Robinson president, Kurt Robinson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today\u2019s R66 is offered with many options including a cargo hook, lithium-ion battery, fuel flow system, auxiliary fuel tanks, impact resistance windshields, state-of-the-art touchscreen avionics, and a SAS\/autopilot. The aircraft is also available in police, news, and float configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked about the R66, dealer Les Gillespie said, \u201cBecause the R66 can be configured to meet the needs of any pilot or helicopter flight department, it quickly became our number-one selling helicopter.\u201d The aircraft\u2019s new owner, Donovan Valentine of Monarch Helicopters (Nashville, Tennessee) previously owned an R44 and decided to upgrade to an R66 to better serve his tour company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 1973, Robinson Helicopter Company is the world\u2019s leading manufacturer of civil helicopters.
