Where We’ve Been: A Foundation of Boundless Possibility

Over a century ago, on August 16, 1912, Glenn L. Martin founded the Glenn L. Martin Company in Los Angeles, California. From designing his first aircraft in a rented church, Martin took a visionary leap, encouraged by none other than Orville Wright. Just months later, on December 19, 1912, Allan and Malcolm Lockheed founded the Alco Hydro-Aeroplane Company, soon to become the Lockheed Aircraft Company. From a modest garage, they built seaplanes that would break speed and distance records, setting the stage for a revolution in aviation. A few years later, Igor Sikorsky took flight from a field in New York, setting him on a path to invent the first practical helicopter, a monumental breakthrough in vertical flight.

These innovators saw beyond their time, transforming their ideas into reality with an unshakable belief in innovation and excellence. Today, we honor their pioneering spirit, knowing it has laid the foundation for over a century of boundary-pushing achievements. But it is the future they dreamed of that we now work tirelessly to achieve—one where technology leads the way into new realms of possibility.
