    Vultee was at Downey starting in 1936 until it merged with Consolidated in 1942 which Consolidated-Vultee operated until the end of WWII and then sold to North American Aircraft (NAA) in 1948. NAA did all of the development work in what was in 1953 designated Air Force Plant 16 for the Navaho missile program. Up through 1999 it would become NAA/Rockwell's main plant for production of equipment for NASA's space program including Saturn S-11, Apollo Skylab Soyuz, and The Space Shuttle. The plant was torn down after it closed in 1999 and the 200 acre area it covered is now occupied by Downey Landing shopping complex, a Kaiser Permanente hospital, a park, a space museum and Downey Studios(Now Closed-2013). In 1942 this plant introduced the first powered assembly line in aircraft industry
