Nybrand Hybrid Aviation Enterprises

Nybrand Hybrid Aviation Enterprises (: Guóchélan Nóiáran Nybrandais), commonly known as GONON or Nye, is an Ordrish manufacturer of based out of the city of Nybrand. Unlike conventional airships, hybrid designs generates lift from features in line with both (LTA) and  from  (HTA) designs.

Nye is the successor to the Perrot-Ruellan Aviation Design Bureau (: Téidahan Cinvionáranaith 385 "Perrot ach Ruellan", abbreviated TéiC-385), founded in 1989 by aircraft designers Fedi Perrot and Albis Ruellan. Nye was largely responsible for reintroducing the rigid airship into service in defense and civil aviation at the end of the 20th Century, and has become associated with Ordrish aviation and culture abroad. While it is only employed for a small portion of commercial and defense aviation, compared to conventional aircraft, the cost and operation benefits of Nye hybrid airship design has made it attractive as an alternative to traditional overland freight in remote, underdeveloped, or environmentally sensitive areas.

In 2002, Nye was reorganized as an enterprise as part of the General Aviation Group alongside civil aviation designer Adnamandis and aerospace defense enterprise Pis Cáthói.

History
Nye was established as the Perrot-Ruellan Aviation Design Bureau in September of 1989, headed by Fedi Perrot and Albis Ruellan, who worked as the project administrator and lead engineer, respectively. Part of the New Millennium Project, it was established in conjunction with other new experimental design bureaus. The original stated goal of Nye was to "develop alternative means of freight and transportation for areas of a remote nature, with difficult or hazardous terrain, or without existing suitable infrastructure". The first production hybrid aircraft produced by Nye, the PaR-2, was released in 1991, and was first used in Fieloani. While its overall maximum payload size of 5 metric tonnes lagged behind other existing HTA aircraft, their resilience, ease of use, and fuel efficiency made them a highly attractive option in less-developed countries to connect remote areas.

In 1995, Nye began the development of its first iteration of a hybrid airship for application in defense.
