'''Ikaros Aerospace''' is a major [[wikipedia:aerospace|aerospace]] and defense corporation, founded by [[Glenda Davis]] in [[Gardenia]], [[Gallia]]. Ikaros' Headquarters has been in [[Koiwai]] since 1993. Ikaros is [[Ivalice]]'s largest defense company, and the [[Federal government of Ivalice|federal government]]'s second largest contractor after [[wikipedia:Hewlett Packard|HP]].

==History==
Ikaros Aerospace was founded as '''Davis Aeroplanes''' in 1937, in Gardenia, Gallia. It originally built small recreational biplanes in a small workshop near the current site of [[Glenda Davis Airport]]. During [[wikipedia:World War II|World War II]], Ikaros was critical in supporting northern Gallia's regional economy. After the [[War Industries Act of 1942]] was passed by the [[National Diet of Ivalice|Diet]], Ikaros recieved a substantial government grant to aid in the production of aircraft for the front lines. This allowed the company to expand greatly, providing 15,000 jobs at the peak of the war effort in 1943. Sales of Ikaros aircraft remained steady throughout the war, and increased after war's end.

==Products==
Ikaros is the [[Armed Forces of Ivalice]]'s chief domestic supplier. Its chief product line, the Alpha fighter series, is one of the nation's fastest growing exports, being extremely popular in developing countries. It is the private sector half of the [[Ivalician Space Corps|Space Corps]] X-J7 Rocket PPP.
