The Robinson Helicopter Company has fundamentally revised its fleet with the new models R66 NxG, R66 NxG Riviera Edition and R88.
While the R66 series is equipped with state-of-the-art avionics and luxurious details, the R88 sets new standards as the manufacturer's most powerful helicopter.
Robinson R66 NxG Riviera Edition
With the R66 NxG Riviera Edition, Robinson offers an exclusive special edition of the proven R66, available for order only for 12 months. Combining state-of-the-art technology with a sophisticated interior, the helicopter is aimed at customers who place particular value on comfort and aesthetics. A highlight is the light-wood floor, a first for Robinson helicopters.
In the cockpit, the Garmin G500H avionics provide optimal visibility, while the three-axis autopilot makes flying safer and more comfortable. A shock-resistant windshield, air conditioning, and a high-quality leather interior are also standard features. The price for this special edition starts at approximately 1,3 million euros.

The R66 NxG is an advanced version of the proven R66 and features a fully digital cockpit. Thanks to the compact Garmin G500H TXi avionics, the instrument panel is smaller and more clearly laid out. The standard autopilot ensures safe and comfortable control.
The R66 NxG is available in three versions:
- Southwood: Standard version with Garmin G500H 700P TXi, two-axis autopilot and air conditioning.
- Palo Verde: Additional features include synthetic vision, Garmin GTN 750Xi GPS, advanced navigation and communication systems, and a premium leather interior.

Prices start at around 1,25 million euros, depending on the equipment.
Robinson R88 – Most powerful Robinson helicopter of all time
With the R88, Robinson is launching its largest and most capable helicopter on the market. The cabin offers seven and a half cubic meters of space and can be used either for up to seven passengers or as a generous cargo hold. The cockpit is equipped with two separate control sticks and Garmin G500H TXi avionics.
For the first time, it features a four-axis autopilot, making the helicopter suitable for demanding IFR flights. It is powered by a Safran Arriel 2W engine with 980 hp, which is three times the power of its predecessor, the R66.
The maximum payload is 1270 kilograms, while the range is 350 nautical miles and the flight time is 3,5 hours. Robinson also offers special equipment for specialized missions such as air rescue or firefighting. The price for the R88 starts at approximately €3 million.
