Niki Rotor Aviation is a Bulgarian manufacturer of aircraft located in Pravets. The firm focuses on designing and producing autogyro kits intended for amateur builders.
Renowned for its sleek, enclosed cockpit designs, the company incorporates rotor blades sourced from US manufacturers such as Vortech and Sport Copter.
The initial Niki 2004 model evolved into the elongated Niki 2004M, which subsequently led to the creation of the quicker Niki 2008 and Niki Apis variants. The Niki Lightning, first known as the Niki 2009, along with the Niki Kallithea, are both tandem two-seat autogyros. The Kallithea features a low-mounted tailboom positioned beneath the propeller, whereas the Lightning uses a tailboom attached directly to the propeller hub.
