Welcome to the Popular Rotorcraft Association

We are based in Mentone, Indiana, USA, at the PRA-owned Mentone Airport. Founded in 1962 by Dr. Igor Bensen, the inventor of the Bensen Gyrocopter, we
have grown to include rotorcraft of all sorts with members from other countries. We are a group of people who love rotorcraft – gyroplanes and
helicopters, some homebuilt from scratch, some from kits, and some factory assembled.
