It has approximately 275 cubic feet of cabin volume. • Performance: The R88 offers a range of over 350 nautical miles and endurance exceeding 3.5 hours. The aircraft is expected to have an internal payload of more than 2,800 pounds and will be powered by a 1,000-shaft horse-power single engine in the Safran Arriel 2W. • Highly Configurable Interior: The highly configurable cabin features a flat floor, allowing for multiple forward and club seating configurations, effective air medical and public safety mission configurations, and multiple future seating options. A fold-down, truck-bed style rear door simplifies cargo loading and accommodates a HEMS stretcher. • Exterior Adaptability: The aircraft is available with standard skids or optional high skids for increased ground clearance and compatibility with a firefighting water tank. Optional equipment includes a 3,000-pound HEC-rated cargo hook, utility basket, wire strike protection kit, and pop-out floats. • Advanced Avionics: The R88 features a Garmin avionics suite, including large G500H TXi displays and GTN navigators with touchscreen controls. The G500H TXi includes a crew alerting system. A standard 4-axis autopilot with features such as level mode, hover assist, limit cueing, and low/high speed protection. Standard data recording with datalink and a health usage monitoring system (HUMS) simplifies operation and maintenance. • Enhanced Safety: The R88 incorporates dual hydraulics for pitch and roll for critical flight controls. Other standard safety features include an inlet barrier filter and impact-resistant windshields certified to Part 29 transport helicopter requirements. New LED exterior lighting, including pulse landing and taxi lights, tail rotor lighting, scene lighting, and entry lights, further enhance safety. • Innovative Design: The R88 introduces dual cyclic controls with removable controls on both sides, allowing the pilot in command to be in either the left or right seat with a passenger in the other seat. The aircraft will be type-certified for optional single-pilot IFR operations. The all-new interior design features comfortable, functional seating, easy-to-maintain materials, and a versatile layout. • Affordability: The R88 is priced starting at $3.3 million USD in current dollars for the highly equipped standard configuration.

About the Robinson R88

The Robinson R88 is Robinson Helicopter Company's announced larger-class single-turbine helicopter — the next step above the five-seat R66. While airframe deliveries are projected for 2027-2028, pre-order positions are actively trading on the secondary market today and are listed for sale on AeroGurus right now. Final specifications and seat configuration have not yet been published by Robinson, but current pre-order pricing suggests a target around $3.3M based on active positions. The R88 is intended to fill the gap between Robinson's existing piston/light-turbine lineup and heavier helicopters such as the Bell 407 and Airbus H125 — bringing Robinson's reputation for reliability and low operating cost to a larger airframe. This page aggregates all currently listed R88 pre-order positions and will be updated with manufacturer specifications as they are released. For Robinson's current production lineup see the R66 turbine (5-seat) or the R44 piston (4-seat).
