Xenotransplantation failure dissipated. An American infant girl known as "Baby Fae" with hypoplastic left heart syndrome was the first infant recipient of a xenotransplantation, when she received a baboon heart in 1983. The procedure was performed by Leonard L. Bailey at Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, California. Fae died 21 days later due to a humoral-based graft rejection thought to be caused mainly by an ABO blood type mismatch, considered unavoidable due to the rarity of type O baboons. The graft was meant to be temporary, but unfortunately a suitable allograft replacement could not be found in time.
BAT Baboon by Christopher Draper. The Baboon was scrapped in 1920. BAT Baboon The BAT F.K.24 Baboon was a British two-seat training biplane produced by British Aerial Transport Company Limited of London during World War I. Using experience gained designing the Bantam, aircraft designer Frederick Koolhoven (assisted by Robert Noorduyn) designed an elementary trainer, a two-bay biplane known as the F.K.24 Baboon. The aircraft had a flat-sided fuselage and an uncowled 170 hp (127 kW) ABC Wasp engine. Six aircraft were planned but only one was built in July 1918. The only notable act was when it won the Hendon Trophy Race
