The RotorWay Helicopter Manufacturing Company, formerly called RotorWay International, was a manufacturer of kit helicopters located in Chandler, Arizona, United States. 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 was changed from RotorWay International to the RotorWay Helicopter Manufacturing Company by the new owners.

In 2021 the company plant, designs and assets were purchased by a new company, Rotor X Aircraft Manufacturing, and RotorWay ceased business.
