Robinson produces 10,000th Helicopter

On 10 November 2011, Robinson Helicopter delivered R44 S/N 13217, the company’s 10,000th helicopter to come off its production line. The keys to the 10,000th helicopter were presented to Robinson’s Brazilian dealer, Audi Helicopters. Audi has been a Robinson dealer for 25 years and is one of two Robinson dealers in Brazil. Foreign orders have consistently represented more than 50% of the company’s total sales.
Robinson’s current production rate is ten helicopters per week and Robinson predicts the company’s total aircraft production for 2011 will more than double last year’s production.
