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.

EPS
EPS elytrapods are manufactured by Atlantic Co. in the town of Springfield.
First EPS elytrapods, EPS and EPS-Cargo, are regarded as more experimental revisions. As they proved to be successful, Atlantic released EPS-MX.
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.
