Goodrich Corporation (NYSE: GR), formerly the B.F. Goodrich Company, is an American aerospace manufacturing company based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded in Akron, Ohio in 1870 as Goodrich, Tew & Co. by Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich. The company name was changed to the "B.F. Goodrich Company" in 1880, to BFGoodrich in the 1980s, and to "Goodrich Corporation" in 2001.
In 1869 Benjamin Franklin Goodrich purchased the Hudson River Rubber Company, a small business in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. The following year Goodrich accepted an offer of $13,600 from the citizens of Akron, Ohio, to relocate his business there.
The company has a history of innovation. As B.F. Goodrich, the company became one of the largest tire and rubber manufacturers in the world, helped in part by the 1986 merger with Uniroyal (formerly the United States Rubber Company). This product line was sold to Michelin in 1988, and the company merged with Rohr (1997), Coltec Industries, and TRW Aeronautical Systems (formerly Lucas Aerospace) in 2002. The sale of the specialty chemicals division and subsequent change to the current name completed the transformation. In 2006, company sales were $5.8 billion dollars, of which 18%, 16% and 12% of total revenues were accounted for by the U.S. government, Airbus and Boeing, respectively.[1]
In 1936 the company entered the Mexican market in a joint venture with Euzkadi (Now part of Continental AG) (named:Goodrich-Euzkadi). The Troy, Ohio plant was purchased in 1946 from Waco. Since then, Goodrich has manufactured wheels and brakes for a variety of aircraft. Among these are commercial, military, regional, and business programs. This successful operation lies at the core of Goodrich's business. Competitors include the aerostructures divisions of companies such as Honeywell, Messier-Bugatti, Aircraft Braking Systems, (Howmet/Huck) and SNECMA.
In the 1940s, Hood Rubber Company was sold before the Great Depression[2] as a division of the B.F. Goodrich Company.[3]
Even though B.F. Goodrich is still a popular brand name of tires, the Goodrich Corporation exited the tire business in 1988. The tire business and use of the name was sold to Michelin.
Prior to that point, Goodrich ran some TV ads trying to distinguish themselves from the similar sounding Goodyear tire company. The tag line was, "See that blimp up in the sky? We're the other guys!"

Industry Definitions
Airframe: Assembled structure of an aircraft, together with the system
components that form an integral part of the structure and influence strength, integrity, or shape.
Avionics: Aeronautical electronics, including communications and
navigation equipment.
Big LEO system: Satellites working together as a system in low earth
orbit that will provide all the services of Little LEO systems as well as mobile voice and fax capabilities.
Block buys: A strategy used by satellite manufacturers in which they
purchase numerous launches at one time to reserve access to space and receive a price discount based on the volume of launches purchased. FAA Stage 3 regulations: Requirements that aircraft meet more stringent (lower) noise levels than Stage 2 aircraft as they approach and take off from airports; similar to Chapter 3 of the European Union’s regulations.
General aviation aircraft: Fixed-wing aircraft used for regional airline
service, business transportation, recreation, specialized uses (such as ambulances and agricultural spraying), and pilot training.
Geo-stationary earth orbit (GEO): The altitude (22,230 miles) at
which a satellite appears to be fixed at a specific spot above the earth.
Global Positioning System (GPS): A system using 24 satellites, all of
which report precise time signals, along with location keys. Eight satellites are in each of three 63 degrees-incline-plane circular orbits at 11,000 nautical miles of altitude; the system is used for navigation and to determine positions exactly.
Little LEO system: A system of low earth orbit satellites that will
provide mobile data messaging and position determination services on a global level.
Low earth orbit (LEO): For the purposes of this chapter, any orbit
lower than geostationary earth orbit.
Payload: The satellite, instrument package, or equipment carried into
space by a launch vehicle.
Rotary-wing aircraft or rotorcraft: An aircraft that delivers lift from
a system of rotating airfoils; includes helicopters and the tiltrotor aircraft in the vertical mode.
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV): An aircraft, whether fixed-wing
or rotary-wing, that is directly controlled [remotely piloted vehicle (RPV)] or programmed to do certain operations and return to base.
