Thorpedo LS To Debut at Sun and Fun
Filed under: Wings
IndUS Aviation will be offering a new version of their Thorpedo Light Sport aircraft. The new Thorpedo LP will be released at Sun 'n Fun 2007. The new plane is designed for improved fuel efficiency and a higher cruise speed. The Thorpedo LP will have an aerodynamically advanced engine cowl and a landing gear set-up that IndUS refers to as "cowboy boots." No complete pics of the Thorpedo LP are available yet so we will have to content ourselves with pictures of these Thorp 211s in flight.IndUS actually has a pretty interesting story. The company was founded in 1994 by Ram Pattisapu, M.D., a laparoscopic surgeon who had a dream to sell aircraft in India, China and other global markets. He believes these emerging economies will become very interested in light aircraft in the future. They have arrangements with a major aircraft manufacturer in India and ship in raw materials for processing and sub assembly fabrication. Then final assembly takes place in their headquarters at the Dallas Executive Airport.
