Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Torrance, Robinson has delivered more than 13,000 helicopters to customers in over 60 countries. Its aircraft are widely used for flight training, aerial photography, agriculture, law enforcement, emergency medical services, firefighting, utility work, and personal transportation.

During this guided tour, you'll see how Robinson helicopters are designed, manufactured, and assembled—from raw materials to finished aircraft—and gain insight into the precision engineering and craftsmanship that have made the company a global leader in aviation.
