About the Robin Aircraft DR 400

The Robin DR 400 is a French four-seat touring and training aircraft that has been in continuous production since 1972, making it one of Europe's most enduring light aircraft designs. Built by Robin Aircraft (formerly Centre Est Aéronautique), the DR 400 family is instantly recognizable by its distinctive cranked-wing configuration—a forward-swept center section meeting straight outer panels—which provides excellent visibility and docile handling characteristics that have made it a favorite among European flying clubs and private owners. The all-metal construction and spacious cabin offer a practical alternative to American designs like the Cessna 172, with the added benefit of sliding canopy access that gives the cockpit an almost glider-like openness.

The R90R designation typically covers the 180-horsepower variants, including the popular DR 400/180 Regent model, which cruises comfortably at 130 knots and offers a useful load approaching 900 pounds. With a maximum operating altitude around 15,000 feet and a range exceeding 600 nautical miles, these aircraft serve equally well for cross-country touring and primary training. The type's benign stall characteristics and wide speed envelope—from a 49-knot landing stall to a 174-knot never-exceed speed—make it forgiving for students while remaining engaging for experienced pilots. The cranked wing also contributes to short-field performance, with typical takeoff distances under 1,500 feet.

While the DR 400 never achieved the global market penetration of Cessna or Piper singles, it has maintained a loyal following in France, Germany, and neighboring countries where its blend of efficiency, comfort, and European engineering appeals to pilots seeking an alternative to the American mainstream. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with distinct routes observed.
