Baen Avionics is an aircraft design and production company based in Faneria and active in both the military procurement and civilian flight spheres. Founded in 1927 as a military aircraft producer, Baen designs, builds, and sells civilian and military craft direct-to-consumer, to airline companies, and directly to the Fhainnin government and approved foreign states. Due to its recent 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 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 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 [[Ginearált Aeirbreach|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.
