Swift Helicopters currently use the Robinson R44, a modern 4 seater helicopter. Many know of the R44's little brother the 2 seater R22 which is used the world over for training.
Although the R44 was not intended as a trainer, we have found that it meets this requirement far better than other smaller helicopters. It has much greater margins of power thanks to it being a 4 seater, both of which make for a smoother and safer training environment.
But also it is the type of machine you are probably going to be flying when you have your own licence – it’s the pleasure of being able to take friends with you that makes flying such fun.
Our brand new Robinson R44 Raven II is fast, user friendly, has safe training limitations and is very stable.
Feel free to visit us and have a look at our aircraft and ask as many questions you can think of.
