Aero were formed in 1919 shortly after the territory known as Czechoslovakia was created in the aftermath of World War 1. Aero have made and designed many aircraft throughout their 95 year history. The German Luftwaffe made Focke Wulf monocoques at the aero factories during World War 2.
In 1953 Aero opened the Vodochody engineering and assembly plant, purpose built for jet aircraft manufacture. Here they manufactured the Mig 15, 19 and 21 for the Warsaw Pact airforces.
Around this time they started development of the Aero-L29 Delfin a Czech designed and built jet trainer and from this came the 1970's designed L-39 Albatros which went on to be, arguably, the most successful jet trainer in history and still being manufactured 40 years later in the form of the L-159.
In 2011 Aero celebrated the production of the first Black Hawk helicopter cockpit as contracted by the Sikorsky helicopter company of America.
