Sprawled along the southern side of Hawthorne Airport, this was the primary production site for Northrop Aircraft. It was where Jack Northrop’s flying wing aircraft were developed (eventually becoming the B-2), along with the Snark cruise missile, and the F-5 fighter jet. Northrop merged with Grumman in 1994, becoming Northrop Grumman, which is now the largest aerospace company in the Los Angeles region, and the world. The main aircraft plant building on the west side of the complex is now the headquarters for Starlink, the space-based internet company owned by Elon Musk, which is currently deploying thousands of small satellites into low earth orbit to provide internet connectivity all over the the world, far outpacing the coverage of Hughesnet, DIRECTV, and other space-based commercial and consumer connectivity providers.
