Hawker Siddeley combined the legacies of several well-known British aircraft manufacturers, emerging through a series of mergers and acquisitions as one of only two such major British companies in the 1960s. In 1977, Hawker Siddeley became a founding component of the nationalised British Aerospace (BAe). In 1993, BAe sold its corporate jet product line to the American Raytheon Aircraft Company (now Hawker Beechcraft), who maintain the Hawker legacy with a successful range of business jets. The Hawker Siddeley name was not used to brand and market aircraft until 1963. Prior to this, aircraft were produced under the name of the subsidiary company (e.g. Hawker Hurricane, Gloster Meteor).
