From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Igor Bensen (April 1, 1917 – February 10, 2000) was the founder of the Bensen Aircraft, which produced a successful line of Gyrogliders (rotor kites) and Autogyros. He was born in Rostov, Russia and eventually reached the United States in the late 1940s.
Benson flew his first towed gyroglider in 1954. [1]
Bensen founded the Popular Rotorcraft Association in 1962, a non-profit interest group for owners and homebuilders of autogyros and helicopters, based in Mentone, Indiana.[2]
