Italian Rotors Industries Srl (IRI) was an aircraft manufacturer from Italy, located in Aprilia, Lazio. The enterprise focused on the development and production of helicopters, delivering them as fully assembled, ready-to-fly models.
Operating as a società a responsabilità limitata, the Italian equivalent of a limited liability company, IRI was established around 2013 and ceased operations by June 2016.
The company offered three helicopter variants, all sharing a common fundamental design. The IRI T22B utilized a four-cylinder, air-cooled, four stroke American engine—the 160 hp (119 kW) Lycoming O-320-B2C. The IRI T23B was equipped with the 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming O-360-A2J engine. Meanwhile, the IRI T250A featured a 250 hp (186 kW) PBS TS 100 turboshaft engine manufactured by PBS Velká Bíteš in the Czech Republic.
According to reviewer Werner Pfaendler, the helicopters produced by this firm were noted for their "elegant" design.
