There will be lots of expansion here. I just wanted to get the basic reference in. This page needs to be kept separate from content appropriate for Ling-Temco-Vought. This page should only reference the aerospace activities, whereas the other page is for the holding company, and later, the steel company. -Joseph 03:55, 2004 Sep 12 (UTC)
[edit] Confusion
Vought history seems pretty striaghtforward until the LTV acquisition. After that, it was split into numerous divisions, reorganized in different reincarnations, and finally emerged as it is today. I'm just wondering if anyone has any input on how this should be handled. Obviously the two articles (Vought and LTV) shouldn't overlap too much, but it seems like LTV was a part of Vought's history just as much as Vought played a critical role in LTV's history. From what I gather, Vought Aeuronautics was a separate division under LTV Aerospace, and there was a separate Vought missiles or something group. But afterward there were reorganizations and name changes. I'm somewhat of a newbie at this and not too sure how this is handled. Thanks. Joshdboz 01:28, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
I see nothing in the article about involvement with Airbus. Yest according to
http://www.avitrader.com/
on a February 26, 2007 posting, Vought had delivered it's 750th wing component for the Airbus 330/340 series. They expect to deliver their 800th unit October 2007. This seems like a substantial role.
I know so little about this subject that I am loath to edit myself.
