British Aerospace was a British aircraft, munitions and defence-systems manufacturer formed in 1977 under the Aircraft and Shipbuilding Industries Act, which merged the British Aircraft Corporation, Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Hawker Siddeley Dynamics and Scottish Aviation into one nationalised company. It became a public limited company in 1981 and was privatised in two stages, in 1981 and 1985. Its aircraft work carried on programmes inherited from its predecessors, among them the Harrier family, the Hawk trainer, the HS 125 business jet and the Jetstream, and it developed the BAe 146 airliner and the Experimental Aircraft Programme demonstrator that led to the Eurofighter Typhoon. It also took a share in Airbus and in the multinational Panavia Tornado. Its head office was in Farnborough, Hampshire, and in 1999 it combined with Marconi Electronic Systems to form BAE Systems.
