Welcome to the homepage of the Popular Rotorcraft Association. Based in Mentone, Indiana, USA at the PRA Mentone Airport, PRA was started in 1962 by Igor Bensen, the inventor of the famous Bensen Gyrocopter. Since then it has grown to include rotorcraft of all sorts with members in over 80 countries. We are a group of people who love homebuilt rotorcraft -- gyroplanes and helicopters that they build and fly themselves. These rotorcraft enthusiasts get together to exchange ideas, information, help one another, promote safety and help with flight training.

Wanted, world-wide PRA Regional Representatives

PRA is reaching out to its members to return to its grass roots nature and provide more direct support, services, and promotional tools according to specific regional needs, events, and requests.
Our Board of Directors knows that we can promote rotorcraft more efficiently working together as a team, so we want you to participate in online board meetings sharing your needs and become a voice for your region or country so we know how we can actually help you achieve your goals.
