History

The UIA traces it's history back to several large aircraft manufacturers that served the Greater Imperial Hegemony for decades. Namely Aegair,Centura,Huvakian Helicopters,and Volgoluft. Each of these companies was a leader in their respective fields developing top quality military aircraft. The Imperial government continually gained more and more influence and control over these companies, eventually obtaining a controlling majority in each. With effective ownership of the companies it was decided that they would be merged in an effort to optomize production and minimize losses. On August 26, 2005 Emperor Aleksander Zaetsev issued a Royal Imperial Order murging the companies into the now state owned United Imperial Aeronautics.

First Years

In October of 2007 the UIA announced its first production aircraft the UGF-35 its first aircraft and the first military aircraft designed and exported under the UIA brand. Unveiled at the Eldrado Airshow in mid 2007 foreign competitors designated the UGF-35 as the "Kingpin". A fourth generation general purpose fighter aircraft the UGF-35 has been well recieved as a competent modern fighter, able to keep pace with most aircraft designed at the time. As of 2008 the UGF-35 is the primary fighter aircraft of the Huvakian air force. In may of 2009 the UAC released it's first civillian airliner, the Aegair Superjet 1000. In 2010, UIA delivered 93 aircraft, including 17 passenger models. This figure includes 31 Volgoluft-29 and 7 UGF-35 fighter jets produced for the Imperial Air Force. The company's revenues for 2010 were expected to be 115 billion–120 billion.

On the 9th of February 2011 the UIA announced Huvakia's 5th generation fighter aircraft the UGF-57. The UGF-57 is a stealth, single-seat, twin-engine, multirole jet fighter designed for air supremacy and attack roles. The U-57 would also be Huvakia's first confirmed aircraft to use stealth technology. The U-57 is designed to replace existing fighter aircraft, and is expected to enter full service in early 2020. UIA is rumored to be in development of even more advanced aircraft though only the internal reporting name is presently known. Project Nosferatu is expected to be a further improvement of technologies included in the UGF-57.
