Indus Aviation
IndUS Aviation is an American light aircraft manufacturer founded in 1994 by Ram Pattisapu, M.D., and headquartered in Dallas, Texas at the Dallas Executive Airport. The company manufactures variants of the Thorp T-211 and the T-111, originally designed by John Thorp. Sub-assembly and component manufacturing is contracted out to the Indian company Taneja Aerospace & Aviation with final assembly in the company’s Dallas factory.
IndUS acquired the rights to the Thorp T-211, including tooling and parts. IndUS Aviation was developing an improved version of the Thorp T-211 which they call the Thorpedo LP and the Sport E.
By February 2010 the company had 28 aircraft in customer hands and registered with the FAA, including one T-11 Sky Skooter and 27 T-211s.
In March 2010, due to the ongoing economic situation, the company was undergoing a reorganization and its website domain registration had expired. By December 2010 the company reorganization was still reported as underway while the website had been restored.
Inalet Co
Russia
Formerly known as VIST and founded 1990, is developing a range of turboshaft-powered transport aircraft with vertical take-off and landing/air-cushion capability, by virtue of engine power being switched between conventional propellers and a large horizontal fan occupying the center fuselage. Also developing a 32-passenger regional airliner as the lnalet-32, featuring an aerodynamically shaped fuselage and stub wings, plus the more conventional Inalet- 60 62/68-passenger regional airliner and freighter with twin turbofan engines mounted at the rear of the fuselage.
Impuls Impuls
The 1987 Impuls was popular in Germany. It is a very robust make, everything of very strong material.
Not for absolute beginners but flies nicely and quite lively.
There was a security announcement by DHV for the lower cables that go together at the keel on the behind (maybe only Impuls IC). There is a special solution for the cable going into the keel, watch out for the cable at this point because it can break!
Negative aspects include there is no single surface glider with more weight, takeoff in windy conditions is very tricky: the extreme pitch-up makes it very difficult to hold the glider “neutral”, and tube dimensions are “special”, not common on other gliders.
It is a copy of the Wills Wings Harrier, but better. US Gliders at that time still used bolts and wingnuts. Like all European gliders, the Impuls had ball-lock pins plus some more nice solutions.
The 1990 Impuls IC is a double sail hangglider. DHV rating is 2, as it is intermediate wing good for beginners and weekend flyers. It flies fine, it is easy to take off and has a very wide flare window at landing. Although it has a very low landing speed, it still has a good penetration. Maximum speed is designated at 90 km/h. Its low sink rate and good L\D ratio keeps it on the top most of the days. It has its drawbacks. It is turn-heavy and has a lots of bar pressure on pitch down.
The Impuls Si appeared in 1990.
