Kandeaska Avionics S.A.

Kandeaska Avionics S.A. (Heltic: Kândeaska Avjonjcă S.A.), or simply Kandeaska Avionics, is a manufacturer of civilian.

Founded in 1987 by Kodruț Romanesku, Kandeaska Avionics is one of the Modrovia's premier civil aviation corporations. Best known for its cheap, rugged utility aircraft, the company has seen rapid growth and now employs 3,582 people (as of 2018). Kandeaska Avionics offers a wide range of aircraft, from bush planes to short-haul freight aircraft to private jets. It is headquartered in the city of Karlovi, Modrovia with aircraft production centered in Orlobem, Modrovia and Petursgard, Gardarike.

1980 to early 2000s
Kodruț Romanesku was an aerospace engineer at Yunkar Aeronautjka S.A., another aircraft manufacturer in Modrovia. Having long built aircraft from kits in his garage, Kodrut wanted to have a simple, cheap, bare-bones aircraft that'd be easy for students to fly. With the aid of his son, Danjel Romanesku, the two set out, refining design after design and eventually founded Kândeaska Avjonjcă S.A. in 1988, looking to make a living off their hobby.

After producing several unsuccessful lines of kit planes, in 1990, Kandeaska Avionics was able to get off the ground. They submitted falsified documents to Costache Agrjcultură S.A, appearing as a large and experienced company, and won a crop dusting aircraft contract with the KDA-21. This provided sufficient funding and recognition to boost the company into credibility. They fulfilled the contract, and proceeded to develop a successful bush plane/trainer from their crop duster design, the KDA-1. The company's formula for reliability was able to propel them to success and fuel the company's growth in the 1980-1990s. With a significant investment from Adrjan Fjeraru, one of Kodrut Romanesku's former colleagues, Kandeaska Avionics was able to purchase larger facilities and hire many more employees.

However, Kodrut died in 1994, so his son Daniel took over. Still in his 30s, he brought a refreshing and exciting mindset to the company and was set on transforming Kandeaska. He launched the 99XNG program, modernizing the company to set it up for the 21st century. This program promised to deliver innovative and exciting new designs: aircraft developed under the 99XNG program would feature glass cockpits, usage of lightweight new materials, and include a lineup of newly developed, powerful engines. All new Kandeaska aircraft have been developed under the 99XNG program, bringing innovation, speed, and style to a company once known for plainness and simplicity.

The early 2000s was a period of rapid growth in the company. Sales of the KDA-9 and KDA-11 began to pick up, and the updated KDA-1 (the KDA-1 Super) and the KDAZ-15 'Orjzont' business jet were released. This enabled the company to purchase a massive factory in Orlobem, significantly increasing production.

KDA-11
The KDA-11, released in 1999, is Kandeaska's largest product to date: a mid-range STOL transport/airliner. Capable of seating 50 pasengers, the KDA-11 is designed to take on unimproved runways and harsh weather. The KDA-11 is optimized for cargo operations, with a large...WIP The KDA-11 is currently in service with Mero-Curgovina's Stratosteiga, Poja's Pojački Međunarodne Zračne Linije (Pojan International Airlines), and the Modrovian Air Force.
