title="Rocket">rockets</a> and <a href="/wiki/Spacecraft" title="Spacecraft">spacecraft</a>. The company was formed in 1943 by the merger of <a href="/wiki/Consolidated_Aircraft" title="Consolidated Aircraft">Consolidated Aircraft</a> and <a href="/wiki/Vultee_Aircraft" title="Vultee Aircraft">Vultee Aircraft</a>. In 1953, it was purchased by <a href="/wiki/General_Dynamics" title="General Dynamics">General Dynamics</a>, and operated as their <b>Convair Division</b> for most of its corporate history. </p><p>Convair is best known for its military aircraft; it produced aircraft such as the <a href="/wiki/Convair_B-36_Peacemaker" title="Convair B-36 Peacemaker">Convair B-36 Peacemaker</a> and <a href="/wiki/Convair_B-58_Hustler" title="Convair B-58 Hustler">Convair B-58 Hustler</a> strategic bombers, and the <a href="/wiki/Convair_F-102_Delta_Dagger" title="Convair F-102 Delta Dagger">Convair F-102 Delta Dagger</a> and <a href="/wiki/Convair_F-106_Delta_Dart" title="Convair F-106 Delta Dart">Convair F-106 Delta Dart</a> interceptors. It also manufactured the first <a href="/wiki/Atlas_(rocket_family)" title="Atlas (rocket family)">Atlas</a> rockets, including the rockets that were used for the crewed orbital flights of <a href="/wiki/Project_Mercury" title="Project Mercury">Project Mercury</a>. The company's subsequent <a href="/wiki/Atlas-Centaur" title="Atlas-Centaur">Atlas-Centaur</a> design continued this success and derivatives of the design remain in use as of 2023. </p><p>The company also entered the <a href="/wiki/Jet_airliner" title="Jet airliner">jet airliner business</a> with its <a href="/wiki/Convair_880" title="Convair 880">Convair 880</a> and <a href="/wiki/Convair_990" class="mw-redirect" title="Convair 990">Convair 990</a> designs. These were smaller than contemporary aircraft like the <a href="/wiki/Boeing_707" title="Boeing 707">Boeing 707</a> and <a href="/wiki/Douglas_DC-8" title="Douglas DC-8">Douglas DC-8</a>, but somewhat faster than both. This combination of features failed to find a profitable niche and the company exited the airliner design business. However, the manufacturing capability built up for these projects proved very profitable and the company became a major subcontractor for airliner fuselages. The jets made their first flights on January 27, 1959 and January 24, 1961 respectively. 65 and 37 examples of the Convair 880 and Convair 990 were produced respectively. </p><p>In 1994, most of the company's divisions were sold by General Dynamics to <a href="/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="McDonnell Douglas Corporation">McDonnell Douglas</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lockheed_Corporation" title="Lockheed Corporation">Lockheed</a>, with the remaining components deactivated in 1996.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Convair&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Origins">Origins</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Convair&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Origins"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Consolidated produced important aircraft in the early years of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, especially the <a href="/wiki/Consolidated_B-24_Liberator" title="Consolidated B-24 Liberator">B-24 Liberator</a> heavy bomber and the <a href="/wiki/Consolidated_PBY_Catalina" title="Consolidated PBY Catalina">PBY Catalina</a> seaplane for the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Armed_Forces" title="United States Armed Forces">U.S. armed forces</a> and their allies.
