IndUS Aviation was American light aircraft manufacturer founded in 1994 that was headquartered in Dallas, Texas at the Dallas Executive Airport. While it was in business the company manufactured variants of the Thorp T-211 and the T-111, originally designed by John Thorp. Sub-assembly and component manufacturing was contracted out to the Indian company Taneja Aerospace & Aviation with final assembly at the company's Dallas factory.[1][2]
IndUS Aviation was developing an improved version of the Thorp T-211 which they called the Thorpedo LP.
By February 2010 the company had 28 aircraft delivered and registered with the FAA, including one T-11 Sky Skooter and 27 T-211s.[3]
In March 2010, due to the Great Recession, the company entered a reorganization. By March 2017 the company reorganization was still indicated as underway.[4] By mid-2017 the company website had been blanked and the company was likely no longer in business.[5]
