Adjustable
Pedals - Right side pilot pedals allow two inches of fore
and aft adjustment.
Visibility - Comfortable "two plus two"
seating provides front and rear passengers with wide, unobstructed
views. No center bulkhead or post impedes visibility. Large windows
in each door allow clear sideward vision from all seats.
Low
Noise Level - Heavy-duty muffler, low tail rotor tip speed,
and a large, cambered fin to off-load the tail rotor make the R44
a "community friendly," quiet helicopter. Thick acoustical
foam achieves surprisingly low cabin noise levels.
Bar
Cyclic - Robinson's patented cyclic design eliminates uncomfortable
stick between knees and eases cabin entry and exit.
Ample
Baggage Compartments - All four seats hinge up for access
to concealed storage areas for carry-on bags, briefcases, supplies,
and other belongings. A custom Robinson travel bag is standard equipment
on new R44s.
Heating
and Ventilation - An adjustable heater distributes heat
to all four seats. Fresh air vents in the cabin nose and each door
provide generous ventilation for all passengers.
Off
Airport Landings - High-mounted tail rotor and raised exhaust
provide an added margin of safety at off-airport destinations.
Two-Bladed
Main Rotor - Requires less than one-third the hangar space
of a multi-bladed rotor.
Voice-Activated
Intercom Standard - A high-quality voice-activated intercom
eliminates the need to use intercom switches during doors-on flights.
Floor and hand intercom switches are included for doors-off operations.
