About

General Dynamics Corporation (GD) is an American aerospace and defense corporation. As of 2019, it was the fifth-largest defense contractor in the United States, and the sixth-largest in the world, by sales.[2] The company ranked No. 92 in the 2019 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by total revenue.[3] It is headquartered in Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia.[4][5][6][7] Formed in 1954 with the merger of submarine manufacturer Electric Boat and aircraft manufacturer Canadair,[8] it evolved through multiple mergers and divestitures and changed markedly in the post–Cold War era of defense consolidation. General Dynamics’ former Fort Worth Division, which manufactured the F-16 Fighting Falcon, was sold to the Lockheed Corporation in 1993, but GD re-entered the airframe business in 1999 with its purchase of business jet manufacturer Gulfstream Aerospace.
