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

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

collaboration between private industry in the US and China was made
possible through the sponsorship of the Weinan City government.
