Robinson R44 Clipper II

Description

The Robinson R44 Clipper II can be ordered with either fixed utility or emergency pop-out floats, depending on the model. The fixed utility floats add about 50 pounds to the R44's empty weight, reducing cruise speed by only 10 knots. The pop-out floats add about 65 pounds to the empty weight with almost no reduction in the Raven's cruise speed. The Clipper's stability on rough seas is enhanced by a low center-of-gravity, and its advanced single-bag float design allows for safer water surface lift-off. The Clipper's pop-out floats have the same buoyancy as the fixed utility floats, unlike some emergency floats. R44 Clippers are built to last with specialized corrosion proofing throughout. Standard equipment includes custom ground handling wheels and a pressure gage to check float pressure. The Clipper II is an R44 Raven II offered with fixed utility floats for extended flights over water, landings on remote lakes, and extra security when flying over busy harbors.
