Elytrapods

This article includes lots of fictional writing.

Elytrapods are a type of compact, light aircraft usually used by one person. What makes an elytrapod what it is, it needs an elytra in its design, natural or artificial. Earlier elytrapods required specialised runway-type infrastructure, but newer aircraft may not require that anymore.

Elytraports

Elytraports are designated landing spots used by elytrapods. Modern elytraports are made, though standard airport infrastructure, such as runways, may be reused. It is often seen in practice for abandoned or disused airstrips to be repurposed for elytraports, most of the time retaining a huge chunk of original design or construction.
