BAC 100 takes its name from the Bristol Aeroplane Company, which was founded on 19 February 1910 by transport entrepreneur Sir George White. The company's legacy was passed on to Bristol Siddeley, the British Aircraft Corporation, British Aerospace, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, Airbus and many other companies, some of which are still active in aviation today and continuing to develop innovative technology.
