Contour Aerospace Corporation has been machining world class wing skins, stringers, ribs, spars, straps, monolithic structures, and other aerostructures since 1973. The company operates two facilities – Brea, California and Everett, Washington – offering complementary capabilities. The Brea facility has a number of large 3-axis and 5-axis gantries and currently produces parts as long as 120 feet. The Everett facility has 3-axis and 5-axis gantries as well, but also has smaller machines which can produce smaller components and handle hard metals including stainless steel and titanium. Contour is proud to be a wholly owned subsidiary of one of aviation's most historic companies – Vought Aircraft.

Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc. acquired Contour as part of The Aerostructures Corporation in 2003. Vought's storied history began in 1922 when Chance Vought founded the company in East Hartford, Connecticut. Vought led the transitions from biplanes to single wing designs, and from wood and canvas to aluminum skins and airframes, and from propellers to jets. Vought's unique gull-winged F-4U Corsair helped win the battle of the Pacific in WWII, and John Glenn piloted a F-8U Crusader on his record-setting supersonic flight from Los Angeles to New York. By the 1980's, Vought shifted focus from primary design to primary subcontractor. Today's Vought includes operations which were once part of Northrop and Grumman when those famous companies were building airframes and aerostructures. Vought built the leading edge of the wings of the space shuttle, and manufactured the primary airframe for the B-2 Stealth Bomber.
