Hunting Aircraft was a British aircraft manufacturer, that produced light training aircraft and the initial design that would evolve into the BAC 1-11 jet airliner. Originally founded as Percival Aircraft Co. in 1933, the company later moved to Luton, UK. It was eventually taken over by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) in 1960. ==History== The company was originally formed as Percival Aircraft Co. in Gravesend in 1933 by Edgar Percival to produce his own designs. Restructured in 1936, it became Percival Aircraft Ltd, and moved to Luton Airport. The company became part of the Hunting Group in 1944. Percival, who had resigned from the board to serve in the RAFVR during the war sold his remaining interest in the company at that point. Changing its name to Hunting Percival Aircraft in 1954 and finally to Hunting Aircraft in 1957〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=hunting percival | blenheim | edgar percival | 1957 | 1822 | Flight Archive )〕 In 1960 the company was taken over by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC), itself formed earlier that same year through the merger of the Bristol Aeroplane Company, English Electric and Vickers-Armstrongs.〔Gunson, W.; ''World Encyclopaedia of Aircraft Manufacturers'', 2nd Edition, Sutton (2005).〕 BAC later became part of British Aerospace, now BAE Systems. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hunting Aircraft」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
