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]
