Baen Avionics

Baen Avionics is an aircraft design and production company based in Faneria and active in both the military procurement and civilian flight spheres. Its founder, Kenneth Baen, was a hobbyist since the early 1910s who found sucess designing biplanes for the revolutionary government, earning him a state stipend to co0ntinue his work as well as an engineering staff. This informal arrangement morphed into the National Experimental Air Company in 1920, but Baen eventually broke off from the NEAC in 1927 to found Baen Avionics. While the NEAC developed into General Airworks, Baen designs, builds, and sells both civilian and military craft direct-to-consumer, to airline companies, and directly to the Fhainnin government and approved foreign actors/states. Due to its predominance in the Fhainnin military market, expansion into air transit through Baen Air International, its continued production of luxury supersonic transport and cargo aircraft, and its large helicopter sector, Baen Avionics with its numerous subsidiaries included is the fourth largest aircraft company in the world by income; it additionally controls a large section of the world rotor aircraft market.

Baen is known for it proclivity towards experimental aircraft designs such as delta wing, variable sweep wing, and flying wing aircraft, particularly in its role as a military supplier. It currently supplies several larger sweep-wing aircraft to the Fhainnin government as well as heavy strike drones, though it has shied away from variable-geometry airframes since the 1980s due to the cumulative additional maintenance associated with a large fleet of sweep-wing craft. The state-owned company Ginearált Aeirbreach is the other major supplier of Fhainnin military aircraft, and the two companies have competed bitterly for contracts since the production of Baen's modern line of delta-wing air superiority fighters soundly defeated GA's interceptor jet program.

Baen Air International
In addition to production, Baen Avionics owns Baen International, a subsidiary consumer air travel company that operates in the northern hemisphere and select regions in the southern hemisphere, namely Sarpedon.

Number Series
Baen Avionics traditionally categorizes designs with both an internal alphanumerical code and a public-use code, allowing for categorization of an aircraft by type and placement in series according to the order in which each design was produced. After the invention of jet-powered and helicopter aircraft, public use codes were expanded with an additional digit. All aircraft identifiers from Baen begin with BA, then a one to three letter code depending on the era of design, then a numerical code to denote the design's place in series with other aircraft proposed for production.

BA-A3 Oalkbaet
The Oalkbet, named for a township Baen visited in Hendalarsk, was the first aircraft commissioned by the Fhainnin military from BA. While proving difficult to maintain, it was easily adaptable into a floatplane variant and was accepted by the Navy as a result. The frame featured an experimental engine which proved temperamental.

Modern Aircraft
BA-300s were introduced with the advent of jet and later engines, and similarly feature fixed-wing aircraft. The BA-300s were envisioned as large passenger planes and continue to persist as Baen's main line of civilian transit craft, and additionally have found roles in military transport and cargo flight roles. Currently, the and  are the most commonly used 300-series craft, with plans to expand the range with the expected BA-345 Globemaster.

The was an experimental supersonic delta-wing civilian aircraft which failed to attract international attention due to its high requirements for maintenance and avante-garde design theory. Later models such as the serve a niche role for business transit, organ transport, and other high-cost, high-speed transport applications.
