Robinson Helicopter has added crashworthy heated front and rear seats to the list of available options for its R66 turbine helicopter. Debuting this week at Heli-Expo 2018, the installation represents one of the first of its kind on any civil rotorcraft. It adds 3.3 pounds to the single-engine helicopter’s weight and $5,300 to its price. According to company president Kurt Robinson, it was requested by the airframer’s Russian customers and represents the culmination of several years of engineering.
