	No. 02SA293. In the Matter of the Application for Water Rights of Peter Vought and the Stucker Mesa Domestic Pipeline ...
		Vought’s application claims that he used the spring water for his livestock since 1970, and he intended since 1970 to build a house on the land and use spring water for a domestic supply.
		Vought testified that he intended since 1970 to build a house on the property and use water from the springs for a domestic supply to it.
		Vought argues that the Stucker Mesa applications are void, or voidable, for trespass and Stucker Mesa did not prove it can and will appropriate the water with diligence and within a reasonable time, because Stucker Mesa does not currently have legal access to the springs.

	MITEM Case Study - Vought Aircraft Industries
		Vought's goal was to create greater efficiencies in process planning by reducing the number of screens a planner had to navigate, providing drop-down tables that define various codes, implementing rules-based selection of data codes, and allowing access to other systems without exiting the planning system.
		Vought accomplished all of these objectives with the MitemView application, and in addition, developed several other transactions within the application that aid a process planner in performing functions such as: effective code searches, illustration lookup, standard operation lookup, cut, paste and copy, and word search.
		Vought developed a statement of work for the proof of concept and established ground rules and expectations for 2 suppliers being considered for the project.

	The Vought F8U-1(F-8A) Crusader
		The Vought F8U Crusader was the first U.S.Navy aircraft capable of sustained supersonic flight and was the first Navy fighter capable of exceeding 1000 mph (1,609 km/h) in level flight.
		During takeoff or landing, the angle of incidence could be increased by seven degrees, which enabled the wing to retain a high-angle of attack during takeoff and landing, and yet enabled the fuselage to remain fairly level for better forward visibility.
		During 1966, Vought instituted a major re-manufacturing programme in which earlier Crusaders were to be modernized, re-equipped, and re-manufactured to bring them up to contemporary standards and increase their service lives.

		Vought's Corsair was a fighter that could not be treated lightly.
		Chance Vought's F4U-4 came about as a development of the F4U-4XA, which was first flown in early April 1944.

	Vought V-173 / XF5U-1 Flying Flapjack Info (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		One of the most unusual aircraft ever designed for the U.S. Navy was the Chance Vought V-173, also known as the Zimmerman "Flying Pancake".
		Mock-ups of the XF5U-1 were done in the summer of 1943, but due to Vought's preoccupation with the Corsair and Kingfisher, the program proceeded slowly during the war.
		The arrival of the jet age saw the cancellation of the XF5U-1 contract by the Navy in March 1947, despite the fact that the aircraft was due to take its first test flight later that year.

	Vought to get more 7E7 work
		Vought Aircraft Industries will get a much bigger piece of the 7E7 airframe manufacturing work than previously thought, increasing the percentage of Boeing's new jetliner that will be built in the United States.
		The fact that Vought will build more of the 7E7, however, is not seen as a factor likely to weigh in Boeing's decision where to assemble the new jet.
		Vought is considered a leader in composites, which is why it was selected by Boeing as one of its 7E7 structure partners.

	Denton Record Chronicle \| News for Denton County, Texas \| Business
		Vought is a mishmash of previous companies and subsidiaries, and its current incarnation really only dates back to 2000, when it was spun off from Northrop Grumman Corp. and bought by the Carlyle Group, a private investment firm.
		Lewis and Vought was transformed and rearranged over the years, and in 1961, Chance Vought Aircraft merged with Ling-Temco, which eventually became LTV Corp.
		Aboulafia at the Teal Group said that Vought is well positioned to compete for more contracts like the 787, since such companies as Boeing and Airbus are increasingly outsourcing the construction of various parts of their aircraft and then just doing the final assembly.

	Vought-Sikorsky
		Vought engineers then constructed a conventional cockpit with the pilot in a seated position, although the lowered instrument panel and leading edge windscreen remained in place (though this proved to have little value).
		However, he was never able to convince Vought to expend sufficient funds to develop an adequate control system for hovering or ultra low-speed flight, and the aircraft never flew in this flight regime.
		On one occasion, Zimmerman bypassed Vought entirely and submitted this proposal directly to the Bureau of Aeronautics, who rejected it specifically because he had bypassed Vought.

		Vought designed the fuselage with a circular cross-section which fit snugly over the Pratt-Whitney engine.

	More information about the Vought OS2U KingFisher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Layout of the fuselage was similar to that employed in the biplane scouts, as also was the use of a large single float plus underwing stabilizing floats.
		On March 22, 1937, the Chance Vought Company (then of East Hartford, CT) received a contract for a single XOS2U-1, which was intended as a replacement for older Vought and Curtiss biplanes that were still serving the fleet.
		After Vought delivered 158 improved 052U-2s with R-985-50 engines, and was working on 1,006 longerrange 052U-3s, the U.S. Naval Aircraft factory in Philadelphia, PA, built 300 052U-3s as '052N-1" (the Navy had built a single XOSN-1 biplane of its own design there in 1938; hence the "052N-1" designation).

		As one of the largest aerostructure subcontractors in the world, Vought Aircraft Industries Inc. had a good handle on its direct manufacturing costs as it serves giant aircraft manufacturers like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman.
		Vought wanted to apply similar procurement discipline to its indirect categories of spend as it did to its direct expenses, but it had poor visibility because it was using multiple procurement and payment methods to purchase indirect goods and services.
		As a customer of its e-procurement solution, Vought engaged Ketera Inc. to compile a single view of its indirect purchase history from its various systems in late 2002.
