Theiss Aviation Inc. was founded in 1991 by Shawn M.
Theiss. The company initially designed and built a tiny ultralight, the
Speedster, based on the inter-war racers in the United States. At least
two have been built and the company provided plans and parts to
homebuilders until 1998 when the whole project was put on the backburner
due to contracts received from the US military to build a series of
UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles).
