Robinson: R-44

A piston engine helicopter for three passengers, the cheapest way to fly short hops by rotor.

Robinson: R-44 available for charter through Fliteline
Lowest Cost

Three seats and the lowest hourly rotor cost

Piston power rather than a turbine keeps hourly costs low, which is why so many of these airframes exist. Three passengers cruise at 202 kilometres per hour with a range of 550 kilometres, flown by a single pilot under visual rules.

It suits a short transfer to a racecourse, a wedding or a survey run where cost matters more than speed or comfort. Baggage is nominal at 0.1 cubic metres, there is no lavatory, and poor visibility grounds it, so keep plans flexible.

Getting three guests from a hotel to a racecourse or regatta in twenty minutes rather than two hours is exactly what this airframe is priced for.
