Robinson is offering new impact-resistant windshields as optional equipment for its R22, R44, and R66 helicopters. The new windshields were designed to FAA Part 29 transport category standards and have been shown to resist the strike of a 2.2 lb. (1 kg) bird at 90 knots (R22) and at 100 knots (R44 and R66) in testing conducted by the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas.
