These types, and the DH. 9A, a developed version that served for many years with the postwar Royal Air Force, formed the basis of early de Havilland designed airliners, including the company's DH. 16 and DH. 18 types which were operated by Aircraft Transport and Travel Limited, the first airline established in the United Kingdom, also owned by George Holt Thomas.

Airco DH. 16 used by Aircraft Transport and Travel

Aircraft Transport and Travel, a subsidiary of Airco, started the world's first regular daily international service on 25 August 1919, between Hounslow Heath Aerodrome and Le Bourget.

BSA then bought Aircraft Transport and Travel's aircraft from the liquidator and, in early 1921, established Daimler Airway and Daimler Air Hire under Daimler Hire Limited's Frank Searle.

Transport Aircraft:

In April 1929 Trippe and his associates reached an agreement with United Aircraft and Transport Corporation ( UATC ) to segregate Pan Am operations to south of the Mexico – United States border, in exchange for UATC taking a large shareholder stake ( UATC was the parent company of what are now Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, and United Airlines ).

After the 1929 stockmarket crash Stearman and Boeing were aquired by United Aircraft and Transport Corporation.

* UAC / HAL Il-214 Multirole Transport Aircraft, a planned medium-lift military transport

Aircraft were built there, and flown from the company's adjacent airfield, known as Cricklewood Aerodrome, which was also used by Handley Page Transport.

The first was the Avion Corporation in 1927, which was absorbed in 1929 by the United Aircraft and Transport Corporation as a subsidiary named " Northrop Aviation Corporation ".

Boeing Aircraft and Transport ( BA & T ) was a holding company created in 1928 that included Boeing Aircraft and United Air Lines, itself a holding company for a collection of small airlines that continued to operate under their own names.

The name change came the same year that Federal anti-trust actions caused United Aircraft And Transport Corp. to dissolve, which took effect September 26, 1934.

The runway is also an emergency divert site for NASA's Boeing 747 Shuttle Transport Aircraft when relocating orbiters from either west coast modification work or divert recoveries at Edwards AFB, California or the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.

William Boeing divested himself of ownership as his holding company, United Aircraft and Transport Corporation, broke into three separate entities:

By 1956 there was enough official interest in this research for the Supersonic Transport Aircraft Committee, or STAC, to be formed under Sir Morien Morgan to investigate the creation of a supersonic transport.

On 5 June 2009, First Air received their first wide-body aircraft in the form of a Boeing 767-223 SF ( Super Freighter ) which is under a three-year dry lease from ( CAM ) Cargo Aircraft Management, a subsidiary of Air Transport Services Group ( ATSG ).

While the first few " Beechcraft " were built in the vacant Cessna Aircraft plant, which had also closed during the depression, Beech later leased and then bought the Travel Air plant from Curtis Wright and moved his factory to this plant.

* May 17-KLM and Aircraft Transport and Travel begin a joint air service between London and Amsterdam.

* October 5 – Concerned that civil aviation might not be taken seriously after World War I and anticipating the growth of civil air transport after the war, the British aviation pioneer George Holt Thomas registers Aircraft Transport & Travel Limited.

* August 25 – The first regularly scheduled airline service between London and Paris begins, with the British Aircraft Transport and Travel company flying a de Havilland DH. 16 between Hounslow Heath Aerodrome and Paris-Le Bourget Airport.

A second reason cited for moving production to Shenyang Aircraft Corporation was Cessna had no plant capacity available in the USA at the time.

Aircraft sextants are now out of production, but had special features.

Aircraft had to approach these from certain directions and this led to the development of aids for directing the approach and landing slope.

Aircraft were to be used for systematic air observation of German troop movements to and on the battlefield, to avoid the failures of previous battles where too few aircraft had been burdened with too many duties in bad weather.

Aircraft had a presence in all the major battles of World War II.

Smye, born in Hamilton, Ontario, had risen through the ranks of the government's departments overseeing wartime aircraft production, to Assistant General Manager of Federal Aircraft Limited, the Crown Corporation managing production of the Avro Anson at the National Steel Car / Victory Aircraft plant.

Also in the UK in 1967 the go-ahead had been given for the UK's ( separately developed ) three-stage Black Arrow rocket launcher ( made by Westland Aircraft, with Bristol Siddeley rocket engines developed at the Rocket Propulsion Establishment at Westcott, Buckinghamshire )-Britain did not need to rely on Europa, and Black Arrow would be ready first.

At the beginning of July the Chairman of Jowett Cars Limited, AF Jopling ( who at the time was also a senior employee with Blackburn Aircraft ), informed Jowett shareholders at their Annual General Meeting that difficulties had arisen over the future supply of car bodies.
