Lockheed Martin Research Paper

What was once a barren area full of trees and grass was soon a bustling city with over 30,000 people. Buildings and houses were around every corner with signs hanging up everywhere. Many of these signs were secret messages to the residents of Oak Ridge to keep what they saw, heard, and did there a secret. This entire city was built faster than any other and it was all for one reason; to build the most destructive weapon in the world. The atomic bomb.

The 101st airborne division has been stationed at the Little Rock Central High! You might ask why….? They have been put here at Central High due to the integration. Governor Faubus has put them in the front of the school because he wants to prevent the federal court-ordered racial integration. President Dwight D. Eisenhower has federalized the Arkansas National Guard and sent 1,000 army paratroopers to Little Rock to enforce the court order integration. Classes will be integrated starting September 4, 1957. The day has come to integrate and 100 national Guard member and 400 whites gathered in the front of Central High and are yelling and screaming racial slurs and throwing objects aiming for the blacks. Will this ever end...To be

Every experience we encounter presents us with a chance to grow, to overcome difficulties, and expand our minds. We are the result of our life experiences, which are the foundations of personal growth and development. Any one experience will have its own effect and lasting impact on our identities, but it is the culturally diverse experiences, like those I have and will continue encounter at Washington Technology Magnet School that will remain a part of me and my future as a multicultural educator in the years to come.

The first B-29s arrived at Allied airfields in India and China in April 1944. Originally, the Bomber Command was to fly from India, B-29s first saw combat on June 5, 1944, when 98 planes struck Bangkok. The bomber was use for combat but the biggest thing it was made for was to drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In this paper I will talk about how and why people are so controversial over a historical exhibit.

Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson came to Lockheed in 1932 looking for a job but was turned down soon after for not having enough experience. After that he realized that he need more schooling to be able to get the jobs that he wants so he went back to school an got his master’s degree in Aeronautical Engineering. Johnson later went back to the same place he got turned down at for a job but not only got the job but became the sixth engineer working for the Lockheed Company. When World War II came around Johnson helped design the P-38, America’s first airplane to go 400mph. Soon After the assignments as flight test engineer, stress analyst, aerodynamicist, weight engineer, he became chief research engineer in 1938.

In 1938 he formed Northrop Aircraft, which will become the Northrop Grumman Corporation that we know today. Even though Mr. Northrop had a dream to research and design, as a new company in wartime he fell back on what he knew. His company was in production mode for other companies such as Consolidated, Boeing, and Vultee.

Summary: Clyde Cessna built his first plane in 1911, and Cessna became a storied name in aviation. Sales topped one-billion in the 1980’s and then one of the worst down turns in the history of aviation business nearly went out of business in a decade in a half.

These experiences led the AAF to have an interest in jets, which provided the aviation industry with some opportunity for post war growth. The AAF requested the development of eight jet fighters and seven jet bombers. The development of these aircaft would require a large level of research and development by aviation companies. This was a problem for the companies because the majority of the facilities of the companies at the time were in production plant and equipment.

Any pilot or airplane lover has heard the name Cessna Skyhawk because they are a very desired airplane. The man who built these spectacular airplanes was a man named Clyde Cessna and his first one was built in 1911. He did not just build them for fun but also for those involved in World War II. The amount of airplanes being sold dropped dramatically and eventually hit rock bottom with selling 928 planes total. Clyde Cessna had to make some dramatic changes around the office and ended up laying off 75% of the employees located at the piston-engine factory. Once the economy started to pick up again Cessna decided that he wanted to start making Skyhawks again so he began his new journey.

The Wright brothers invented and built the original Wright Brothers airplane and they flew their way into history at Kitty Hawk, NC December 17, 1903. Theirs was the world's first power-driven, heavier-than-air machine in which man made free, controlled and sustained flight. Not only did they achieve getting a flying machine into the air, but they evolved and employed an approach to create the technology and principles of human flight. Their studies and methods remain an essential tool in aerospace research and development today.

The airplane was made in 1903 by the Wright brothers. Wilbur and Orville Wright flew the first airplane at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. After the flight was (somewhat) successful, it was clear that this invention could be very helpful in the future. With more research, the airplane could have longer flights.

Throughout history, America has constantly looked to the sky in an effort to gain military superiority and it did not take long for the birth of the Army Air Corp after the Wright Brothers famous first flight. Through trial and innovation early aviation progressed rapidly. With lessons learned in WWI America quickly realized that the future of combat would rely heavily upon aircraft and the ability to build better aircraft then our adversary. Over the decades, many great aircraft have set the foundation for the knowledge we use today to continue to design the most state of the art aircraft. Every aircraft weather a success or failure was a lesson learned that advanced Army Aviation. One such aircraft was the Lockheed P-38 Lightning. While

General Motors Company, also known as GM, is a multinational corporation. It designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes vehicles in 37 countries. General Motors produces 13 brands: Alpheon, Buick, Baojun, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Holden, HSV, Jie Fang, UzDaewoo, Wuling Vauxhall, and Opel. The company was featured in this year’s Fortune 500 List. General Motors has a great number of factors that contribute to its high success rate. For example, General Motors has a strong employee base. Its employees are satisfied, loyal, and are the backbone for the company’s success.

The Loughead Brothers developed their first aircraft in 1913. They successfully flew this aircraft over Alcatraz at a top speed of 63 mph. Their first military aircraft was developed a little too late for deployment in the First World War. That untimely event sent one of the brothers, Malcom Loughead to venture out away from the aircraft industry and left the other brother to go at it alone. So in a since that was the first time this company faced its first major obstacle on the way up the aircraft industry ladder. Over the years, Lockheed was bought and sold and eventually landed with Robert Gross after he purchased it for $40,000 in 1932. Over the next three decades he turned Lockheed into a leader in the aircraft industry. In that time Lockheed experience some great strides in

The Glenn L. Martin company was established by Glenn L. Martin in Los Angeles, California in 1912, after building a self-designed plane at the urging of Orville Wright (Lockheed Martin at a Glance, n.d.). A few month later and less than 500 miles away, Allan and Malcomb Lockheed founded the Alco Hydro-Aeroplane Company, later renamed the Lockheed Aircraft Company, focused on seaplane construction (Lockheed Martin at a Glance, n.d.). Although the two companies would not merge until 1995, the impact, contributions, and legacy of these companies both prior to the merger and beyond have played a significate role in the defense industry and the overall defense posture of the United States.
