The Robinson Helicopter Company, based at Zamperini Field in Torrance, California, is the largest manufacturer of civil helicopters in North America.
Franklin D. "Frank" Robinson (born 1930) is an engineer and the founder, president and Chief Executive Officer of Robinson Helicopter Company of Torrance, California. He designed the Robinson R22 helicopter, a popular, light, two-place civilian aircraft in the early 1970s.
Robinson is a recipient of the Howard Hughes Memorial Award from the Southern California Aeronautic Association given "to an aerospace leader whose accomplishments over a long career have contributed significantly to the advancement of aviation or space technology."
On August 10, 2010, Frank Robinson announced he has resigned as President and Chairman of Robinson Helicopter Company. Robinson intended to retire on his 80th birthday in January, 2010 but elected to postpone his retirement until the design of the R66 Turbine was complete. With R66 production underway and FAA certification imminent, Robinson decided to make his retirement official. Kurt Robinson was elected by the Board of Directors to assume the positions of President and Chairman on August 10, 2010.
