Robinson designed the 4-seat R.44 Astro which first flew in 1990. It has a 260 hp Lycoming O-540 engine driving a two-blade main rotor and is fitted with a skid undercarriage. As with all Robinson helicopters, the R.44 has life limited components resulting in a major overhaul for high hours aircraft.
