Subject: New Robinson R66??

Anyone seen or heard anything on the new six place Robinson? I
understand it will be Turbine powered.

Saw that it would be called the R-55, a 5 seater, but at the HAI Convention
Frank Robinson emphasized that it wouldnt happen until they find the right
engine. Preliminary work continues on three alternatives: a turbine, diesel and
turbocharged Lycoming.
Robinson likes the diesel but they have to "get the weight out".
