The R44 Raven II is the latest derivative of the very successful and proven R44 helicopter line. The Raven II is equipped with a fuel-injected, angle-valve, tuned-induction, IO-540 Lycoming engine which produces substantially more power and gives the Raven II greater altitude performance, increased speed, and more payload than its predecessors.

To assure a longer life and lower cost of maintenance, the engine is derated to 245 HP for 5 minutes, and 205 HP maximum continuous rating. Both main and tail rotors are fitted with noise attenuating blade tip caps that decrease flyover noise by 1dB. The main rotor blades also have more surface area for increased lifting capability at altitude than past R44 models.

Typical applications for the R44 include corporate and personal transportation, tours, charters, and aerial surveillance. For specific applications, the Raven II can be configured as an IFR Trainer, Newscopter, Police Helicopter, and float-equipped Clipper II.
