The aerospace industry is the sector of science and engineering that deals with the manufacturing and development of flight vehicles within the Earth’s atmosphere and out into the surrounding space. The types of flight vehicles that the aerospace industry works with range from commercial aircraft like airplanes to military aviation, from jets to missiles and spacecraft.
Some of the top and most prolific aerospace companies are Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman. Each dates back to the early 1900s, and each has built a long list of accomplishments and innovations.
