IndUS Aviation is an American light aircraft manufacturer founded in 1994 and is 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 Aviation is currently developing an improved version of the Thorp T-211 which they call the Thorpedo LP.

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. By March 2017 the company reorganization was still indicated as underway.
