US Aircraft Factory Map

What’s your timeframe? Because there were like 5 in the City of Cleveland, the Wright Company in Dayton. Waco was in Ohio, the Cleveland Bomber Plant built B-29s, a bunch of stuff was built in Columbus by NAA.

 

I can tell you that you are missing Aero Commander/Rockwell/Gulfstream in Bethany Oklahoma (closed), Ted Smith Aerostar/Piper Aerostar in Santa Maria, CA (closed), Lancair/Cessna in Bend Oregon (closed), Epic Aircraft in Bend Oregon (operating), Van's Aircraft in Aurora Oregon (open but in bankruptcy), American Champion, Burlington Wisconsin (operating) and Waco Aircraft in Battle Creek MI (operating), to name just a few.

I'm sure there are many that I missed.

 

San Antonio - SJ30
Albuquerque - Eclipse
Tuscon - Learjet (Lear 55 production line)
Greensboro, NC - Honda Jet
Perryville, MO - Saberliner
Bethpage, NY - Grumman Gulfstream (later moved to Savannah, GA)
San Angelo, TX - Mitsubishi Diamond

 

Don't forget Convair/General Dynamics in San Diego (closed), North American/Rockwell in Columbus, OH (closed) and both Bell and Convair in Buffalo (closed). Also, Martin had a plant in Omaha (closed) and Piper has a plant in Vero Beach, FL (operating).

You may want to note that Grumman had occupied the Republic/Fairchild plant in Farmingdale, NY before they did, and similarly Bell occupied the Lockheed Martin plant in Marietta, GA before they did. (In fact, locals sometimes still call it the "Bell Bomber plant".)

 

And Robinson Aircraft in Torrance, CA (operating, and producing turbine as well as piston powered helicopters)

 

Very interesting. On the historic aircraft from L-M in Ft Worth, you can add the F-111.

 

I think you can also add B-24 and B-58 and components of the F-22. And additional names: Consolidated and Consolidated Vultee.

There was also a North American Aviation factory in Grand Prairie, Texas that manufactured AT-6s, B-24s and P-51s during WWII. It became something else later but I don't remember what.

 

As well as the F-100 Super Sabre (Columbus OH)

I could name off more, but I don't know if anything still exists of the factories.
Convair in SD CA made the F-102 and F-106, Lockheed in Burbank made the F-104,
North American in St Louis made the F-101 Voodoo, LTV in Dallas made the A7 Corsair.

 

Sikorsky S76 at West Palm Beach

 

Burbank - Lockheed P8
Palmdale - Lockheed L-1011
Wichita - Learjet

 

P3 (Electra iteration) NOT P8 which is the B737 iteration

 

Douglas at Santa Monica

 

Aero Commander (Bethany OK) and Epic (Bend, OR) both made/make turbine aircraft.

Also Swearingen/Fairchild in San Antonio Texas, where they made the Merlin/Metro turboprop airliners.

 

Believe it or not ORD or Orchard field started as a Douglas C54 DC4 plant during WWII that made over 500 of them. If you are counting motors, all the WWII B29 motors were built at a Chrysler/government/military plant during WWII one block from Midway airport that was built from scratch just to make B29 motors.

 

Detroit Ford during WWII and way before with the tri motor

 

The Gulfstream 280 is manufactured in Tel Aviv not Savannah.

 

Lancair/Cessna was in my first post, but then he said he only wanted turbine aircraft manufacturers.

I think he didn't quite realize how many aircraft manufacturers the US has, or had!

 

Grumman and the Gulfstream line.

Bethage produced all G-Is and the earliest G-IIs.
Grumman still owned Gulfstream and continued the G-II production in Savannah.
Gulfstream production has continued in Savannah with all subsequent models although the ownership has changed over time. G-III, G-IV, G-IVSP, G-V, G300, G400, G500, G550, G650, G700. There are 2 completely different series of G400 and G500.
G100, G150, G200 and G280 are all built by Israel Aircraft Industries in Tel Aviv.

 

The Martin Bomber was built at 16900 St Clair Ave Cleveland. The building then became Great Lakes Aircraft. The building still stands and the field has been redeveloped.

 

Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth plant is actually Air Force Plant 3 and the Palmdale plant is Air Force Plant 42.
