“Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.’s Aeronautics Department was spun off as Goodyear Aircraft Company in 1939.” “The company became Goodyear Aerospace Corporation in 1963 to reflect the diverse range of products.” “In 1987 it was sold to Loral Corporation for $640 million following a massive restructuring of Goodyear prompted by the hostile takeover attempt by James Goldsmith and the Hanson Trust. The Goodyear name disappeared and became the defense systems unit of Loral.”
