Robinson Helicopter Company

Founded in 1973 by Frank Robinson, Robinson Helicopter Company is a leading manufacturer dedicated to producing the world’s highest quality, most reliable, and cost-effective helicopters. By introducing the accessible R22 in 1979, the company revolutionized general aviation and made helicopter ownership available to a broader audience. Today, with its popular R44 and R66 models, Robinson Helicopter Company continues to innovate, having produced over 13,000 aircraft worldwide.

Our culture is built on continuous innovation and an unwavering commitment to quality. At our Torrance, California factory, a highly skilled workforce meticulously manufactures, assembles, inspects, and flight tests every helicopter, ensuring superior quality by producing many parts in-house. This dedication fuels robust research and development, consistently integrating new technology. We also foster a global community through monthly pilot safety and maintenance courses.
