It had a huge aerospace programme ranging from space engineering and defence technologies through long -- and short -- haul airliner programmes. It manufactured precision instruments and industrial products, which achieved worldwide success.

The main product that contributed to its success was the BAC one-eleven, also known as "BAC 1-11", which received over 50 orders by 30 operators throughout the world. This aeroplane was a product of BACs Weybridge division factories.
