RotorWay International
RotorWay International, located in Chandler, Arizona, is a manufacturer of kit helicopters. The company was founded by B.J. Schramm in 1961 as RotorWay Aircraft. RotorWay International was bought February 14, 2007 by a small group of investors comprising the company's upper level management — Grant Norwitz, CEO, Bill Adams, COO, and Judy Craven, CFO. Of these, only Norwitz was still with the company in mid-2008.
By 2015 the company name had been changed to the RotorWay Helicopter Manufacturing Company.
History
1960-1970
In 1961, RotorWay's founder, B.J. Schramm, tested the company's first prototype, the Javelin. The Javelin used a 40 hp (30 kW) motorcycle engine, and was the forerunner of RotorWay's first production helicopter, the Scorpion, which was offered in 1967.
The Scorpion, priced at $6,300 (not including the cost of the engine), was the first real kit helicopter on the market that flew. The Scorpion was intended for the sport-flying public, rather than the commercial market and this dictated the cost and weight of the aircraft. Originally, costs were intended to be under $10,000, but inflation changed that. The original Scorpion weighed between 1200 and 1300 pounds. It featured a standard gear reduction drive, a semi-articulated two-bladed rotor system, and a one-person capacity.

How We Do?
by: Rita OraAnd party and bullsh-t...
And party, and party
I stumbled up to the window
Opened the curtains to blinding light
Make up all over the pillow
What went on? what went on?
What went on last night?
You look so sweet while you're dreaming
Holding your bottle of tango red
It isn't even the weekend
Maybe thats, how I know, you're the one for me
Hook:
I wanna party and bullsh-t
And party and bullsh-t (with you)
And party and bullsh-t
And party and bullsh-t
And party, and party
Cause when the sun sets baby
On the avenue
I get that drunk s-x feeling
Yeah, when I'm with you
So put your arms around me baby,
We're tearing up the town
Cause that's just how we do
We got that sweet heart loving
Dancing in the dark
Out in the streets we're running,
Shut down every bar
So, put your arms around me baby
We're tearing up the town
Cause that's just how we do, how we do
Yeah, that's how we do
How we do, that's just how we do
How we do, that's just how we do.
Hungover I think I'm broken
You said the fix is a shot of jack

But alright, pour a glass and we'll throw em back
I wanna party and bullsh-t
And party and bullsh-t
