Under the new partnership, IndUS USA will be responsible for all
research and development, modifications and technical updates in
the USA, with requisite FAA and international aviation agency
approvals. Parts and support for the Thorpedo SLSA will continue to
be provided from the US headquarters in Dallas, TX.
"We will continue current support operations in Dallas and focus
on building primary training aircraft in large numbers to meet the
expected demand for such aircraft in India and China. With our new
Chinese partners, we will develop the LSA market in Asia, and
continue to oversee final assembly of Thorpedos in Dallas to
support sales in North America," said IndUS founder and owner
Ram Pattisapu.

central China. The partners will operate a newly created company in
China presently called 'IndUS-IPI'.
The reciprocal agreement involves equity positions between IndUS
and IPI, with support of Weinan government. This unique
collaboration between private industry in the US and China was made
possible through the sponsorship of the Weinan City government.
The Thorpedo SLSA is derived from the FAR 23-type certified
Thorp T-211 SkySkooter.
