BAe / BAE Systems
British Aerospace plc (BAe) was a British aircraft, munitions and defence-systems manufacturer (plc = public limited company). Its head office was at Warwick House in the Farnborough Aerospace Centre in Farnborough, Hampshire.
The company was formed in the United Kingdom as a statutory corporation on 29 April 1977 as a result of the Aircraft and Shipbuilding Industries Act. This called for the nationalisation and merger of the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Hawker Siddeley Dynamics and Scottish Aviation.
In 1979 BAe officially joined Airbus, the UK having previously withdrawn support for the consortium in April 1969.
The Business Jets Division of BAe was sold to Raytheon in 1993.
On 30 November 1999 it purchased Marconi Electronic Systems, the defence electronics and naval shipbuilding subsidiary of the General Electric Company plc, to form BAE Systems (British Aerospace Engineering Systems).

BAe Jetstream
The British Aerospace Jetstream is a small twin-turboprop airliner, with a pressurised fuselage, developed as the Jetstream 31 from the earlier Handley Page Jetstream.
Scottish Aviation had taken over production of the original Jetstream design from Handley Page and when it was nationalised along with other British companies into British Aerospace (now BAE Systems) in 1977, BAe decided the design was worth further development, and started work on a "Mark 3" Jetstream. The result was the Jetstream 31, which first flew on 28 March 1980, being certificated in the UK on 29 June 1982.

BAe 125
The British Aerospace 125 is a twinjet mid-size business jet. Originally developed by de Havilland and initially designated as the DH125 Jet Dragon, it entered production as the Hawker Siddeley HS.125, which was the designation used until 1977. Production continued from 1977 until 1993 as British Aerospace 125 by British Aerospace. When British Aerospace sold its Business Jets Division to Raytheon in 1993, the then-main variant of the jet became widely referred to as the Hawker 1000. After the sale in 2006 of Raytheon to Goldman Sachs and the creation in 2007 of Hawker Beechcraft, more recent variants of the type were marketed as the Hawker 800 and assembled by Hawker Beechcraft.

BAe Hawk
The BAe Hawk is a British single-engine, jet-powered advanced trainer aircraft developed by Hawker Siddeley. It was first flown at Dunsfold, Surrey, in 1974 as the Hawker Siddeley Hawk, and subsequently produced by its successor companies, British Aerospace (from 1977) and BAE Systems (from 1999), respectively. It has been used in a training capacity and as a low-cost combat aircraft.
Operators of the Hawk include the Royal Air Force (notably the Red Arrows display team) and a considerable number of foreign military operators. The Hawk is still in production in the UK and under licence in India by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) with over 900 Hawks sold to 18 operators around the world.
