With Europe being one of Robinson Helicopter’s most successful regions for sales, the Torrance, California-based helicopter manufacturer is likely breathing a big sigh of relief as it has achieved certification for its R66 Turbine helicopter by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The signoff allows Robinson to start delivering helicopters to a backlog of European R66 customers.
The company also announced it has achieved certification for the R66 Turbine from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), which Robinson says it sees as an emerging market.
