History British Aerospace plc (BAe)
British Aerospace Jetstream
First flight 28 March 1980 Introduction 29 June 1982
Produced 1980-1993
The company has its origins in the Aircraft and Shipbuilding Industries Act 1977, which called for the nationalisation and merger of the British Aircraft Corporation, Hawker Siddeley Aviation, Hawker Siddeley Dynamics and Scottish Aviation. On 29 April 1977, the new entity was formed in the United Kingdom as a statutory corporation.
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. A larger version of the Jetstream was also manufactured, the British Aerospace Jetstream 41..

The BAe Jetstream 41, a larger stretched version of the Jetstream 31/32 design, followed. Although notionally an evolution from the Jetstream 31 / 32, the airframe was of a completely new design and featured a fuselage which was stretched by 16 feet, by means of an 8 ft 3 in plug forward of the wing and a 7 ft 9 in plug to the rear.
