1) Lockheed Martin was formed through the merger of Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta in 1995. 2) Some of Lockheed's most famous aircraft include the U-2 spy plane from the Cold War, the SR-71 Blackbird strategic reconnaissance jet, and the stealth F-117 Nighthawk fighter. 3) While the F-35 Lightning II program has faced criticism over costs, it also represents Lockheed's largest contract and will provide the company with work developing cutting-edge fighter jets for many allied nations over the coming decades.
