Manufacturer catalog
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company is the fixed-wing military-aircraft manufacturing arm of Lockheed Martin Corporation. Its current public program base centers on the F-35 Lightning II, C-130 Hercules and C-130J Super Hercules, F-16 Fighting Falcon production and upgrades, F-22 Raptor sustainment, and advanced aircraft work tied to Lockheed Martin's Aeronautics and Skunk Works organizations.
1 weaponsLockheed Martin's Aeronautics segment designs, develops, manufactures, integrates, sustains, supports, and upgrades advanced military aircraft, including combat aircraft, air-mobility aircraft, unmanned air vehicles, and related technologies. The company's 2025 annual-report material identifies F-35 Lightning II, C-130 Hercules, F-16 Fighting Falcon, and F-22 Raptor as the segment's major programs, making Aeronautics a central manufacturer behind several aircraft families represented in this catalog.
The manufacturing footprint is distributed across large U.S. aircraft sites rather than a single factory. Fort Worth, Texas is the headquarters function and the main F-35 production site; Marietta, Georgia is tied to C-130J production and airlift work; Greenville, South Carolina hosts the current F-16 production line and aircraft modification, maintenance, repair, and overhaul work. Palmdale, California is associated with advanced-development activity through Lockheed Martin Skunk Works.
Lockheed Martin presents the F-35 as its fifth-generation multirole fighter program, while 2025 company reporting identifies the F-35 as a major Aeronautics program and Lockheed Martin news reported 191 F-35 deliveries in 2025.
