They are the first aircraft manufacturer to use stealth technology on their fighter, and recognisance aircraft. “The idea of Stealth technology is to make an aeroplane disappear from radar.” (HowStuffWorks, 2000) Stealth proved very useful during the cold war when US planes flew over the USSR to take aerial photographs without getting seen by radar, and today the technology is still in use to keep pilots safe from the enemy. Lockheed also made history and set multiple world record with their aircraft. In 1964 The SR71 (also known as the Black Bird) set the record as the world's fastest non-experimental jet, flying 1,979 mph (2016, 1964). But Lockheed Martin does not only focus on military equipment. LMT continues to stay true to their mission statement by delivering innovative solutions to challenges faced in oil rigs and gas pipelines submerged in the ocean, as in the case with the …show more content…

The Boeing aircraft company has a long history for creating commercial and military aircraft that are used throughout the world. It is considered to be the most prevalent aerospace company in existence today and employs thousands of workers in many different countries. Throughout its history, Boeing has produced some of the most popular aircraft known today. Possibly the most notable being the 747, which when first revealed was the largest commercial aircraft in existence. Other companies often benefit from Boeing’s existence, one example being General Electric, which supplies engines for aircraft such as the 777. It is also a major defense contractor for the United States military, often competing against rivals like Lockheed Martin.
Stealth bombers are fighter planes capable of achieving under the radar capabilities like stealth coating and the ability to fully cloak it self. These fighter planes are becoming more and more present in today's time and it has brought much concern to militaries around the world. Stealth bombers can be used for a majority of things, from undercover surveillance and surprise attacks on specified targets. It’s unbelievable what humanity was able to accomplish with such a deadly war machine capable of destroying anything at anytime, fast, deadly, and stealthy.

Lockheed Martin was contracted by the United States to make planes for them. On May 1, 1960, a U-2 flown by the US officer Francis Gary Powers crashed in the USSR. This caused tension between the two countries. Powers was put to trail and was jailed. After this, the CIA and the USAF were both looking for a better spy aircraft. They were asked to make something that could fly faster and higher that could be more stealthy. Both the CIA and United States Air force contracted Lockheed Martin to make this plane. The first version was developed at Skunk Works, located in California. It was made in 1958. It could fly at 85,000 feet above sea level, higher than any plane. It could also sustain Mach 3 as long as it had fuel. The SR -71 was faster and could fly higher than before and its radar signature was only 1%.(Wikipedia)
Technology for any aerospace company is important, and this very much holds true for Boeing. Since its inception Boeing has been at the forefront of aviation technology. They introduced the first modern airliner with the Boeing 247 model (http://www.boeing.com/history/boeing/m247.html). During World War II Boeing manufactured the premier bomber planes based on the model 247 the bomber Boeing designed was so good that even their rivals Lockheed Martin, and Douglas aircraft agreed to manufacture them also. Following the end of the war Boeing suffered significant financial losses from their defense division this experience forced the company to reinvent themselves, and that they did. In the 1950s during the Korean War Boeing started to develop guided missiles. This technolog...

(Masters, 2007). Boeing's management team works hard to plan what projects will be best for customers, lead to the largest returns to shareholders, and maintain a reputation of being a world leader in the aviation industry. " In October 2002, executives of the aircraft manufacturer met with a group of global airline representatives at a conference center on the Seattle waterfront. The executives were trying desperately to figure out what to build next to hold off a soaring Airbus. "
From these batteries, the electricity goes to an inverter, which then changes the DC to AC or alternating current in order to use our modern electrical appliances and gadgets. There are two types of grid systems, which operate off solar panels, “off-grid” or “grid-tied”. My mom chose an off-grid system, which means we are independent of the public utility grid, DMEA, and don't have to pay any electrical bills and, if there’s sun, there’s always power.... ... middle of paper ... ...
