Pitcairn PA-18

The Pitcairn PA-18 was an autogyro produced in the United States in the early 1930s. In 1931 Pitcairn had produced a lightweight autogyro suitable for the private pilots as the PAA-1.

The PA-18 was designed as a machine for the same market but with a more powerful engine and structural strengthening.
