Industry Outlook
In the decades following World War II, the aerospace industry was one of the most important in the United States. Apart from the international prestige to be gained by winning the space race, the ongoing threat presented by the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union drove the industry's growth. Aerospace contractors could be assured of billions of dollars of new contracts each year; interest in space travel and research was also high.
