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).

Buying a Used Robinson R88
When buying a Robinson R88, the biggest value drivers are engine time since overhaul, maintenance-record completeness, damage history and avionics.
What to check before buying
- Engine time to overhaul — hours and years remaining drive price more than total airframe time.
- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records protect value.
- Damage history — any prior accident or incident; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
- Avionics — a modern glass panel vs legacy steam gauges materially changes price.
- Pre-buy inspection — always commission an independent inspection by a type-experienced mechanic before money changes hands.
