I wonder What the installed cost is ,
Cobham has been quoted in the press IIRC as saying that the cost for an R44 is expected to be in the $55,000 to $65,000 area. I have seen estimates for this system in turbine helicopters which are higher than this. "Low cost" is no doubt in reference to other helicopter autopilots, not absolute cost. While perhaps not economic for a privately owned R44, it may be appropriate for an R44 used in law enforcement, ENG etc. And for a 206 or 407, which seem to be on the certification agenda, an installed cost of $75,000 to $100,000 may be reasonable given the alternatives, provided it performs as advertised.
