[Schadenfroh]

Favourite aerospace defense contractor. All american so no nationalism is involved.

 

[Mandos]

Boeing, w00t

 

[Buickbeast]

lockheed because of "skunkworks", SR71, F-117, B2, etc...

I believe the B-2 was northrop... the flyin wing was their trademark design... I have a friend that works over at raytheon.. he says he programs "weather satellights"

 

[Riceball]

Yeh, the B2 spirit was developed by Northop Grumman

who was the flying triangles built by? stealth blimps that is.......

 

[Martin]

Airbus

 

[GTaudiophile]

Skunkworks > *

 

[HardcoreRobot]

lockheeds stealth bomber was better
govt gave the contract to northrop bc they wanted to keep them in business to have someone to compete with lockheed (keep prices down)

stealth boat + lockheed > *

 

[Gatecrasher3]

is the question what company kills people best?

 

[His Lord Uberdude]

I'll bet that Lockheed Martin is getting all the votes, cuz it has the coolest name.

 

[Riceball]

What about macdonald douglas? They don't exist anymore but I think they merged with northrop.

 

[Rallispec]

lockheed just becuase i worked for them

BAE does a lot of aerospace work for the US as well.

Boeing.

 

[CaptnKirk]

Northrop and Grumman merged to protect themselves from takeover attempts from Martin Mariettas

McDonnal Douglas offered itself up to Boeing for 'Merger' (buy-out) when they were by-passed on the JSF Phase 2 contract award.
Boeing had already acquired Rockwell International (B-1 & Shuttle) by that time.

Lockheed bought out General Dynamics & Convair and asumed their assets, then Martin Marietta
'merged' (fully acquired) Lockheed and dropped the 'Marietta' from their name by selling off their
aggregate and mining assets. Where 39 mighty independant Aerospace Giants once stood,
there were 3 Major players, and 2 smaller ones waiting for the next vulture to swoop down.

Incestuous families that eat their own.

If you really want to know
Kind of a bitter pill . . .

the sr71 never killed a person and possibly spared the world from nuclear winter by keeping the soviets in check during the cold war

go ahead and live in your perfect fantasy world while the lockheeds and raytheons of the world protect your sorry ass

add Sukhoi, MiG, Ilyushin, Antonov, etc.

edit: can't forget about Tupolev.
