The R66 is slightly faster and smoother than the piston-powered Robinson R44 from which it is derived. The R66 received both type and production certificates from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on October 25, 2010. The R66 is a larger and turbine powered derivative of the Robinson R22 and R44 family of helicopters.
