Robinson R44 Raven II  ZK-IGC

The R44 Raven II the latest derivative of the very successful, popular and proven Robinson R44 helicopter line. The Raven II is equipped with a fuel-injected, angle-valve, tuned-induction, IO-540 Lycoming engine which produces substantially more power and gives the Raven II greater altitude performance, more payload, and increased speed.

A major enhancement is the reduced noise level of the Raven II. This quieter helicopter features redesigned main and tail rotor blades fitted with noise attenuating blade tip caps that substantially decrease flyover noise. The main rotor blades also have more surface area for increased lifting capability at altitude.
