Hughes Aircraft Company was a major aerospace and defense company
founded by Howard Hughes. The group was based near Ballona Creek, in
Culver City, California, USA, on the Pacific Coast.

Hughes Aircraft was acquired by General Motors in 1985. GM sold off
the aerospace and defense operations during the late 1990s; Hughes
Aircraft was sold to Raytheon in 1997 and the Hughes Research
Laboratories became jointly owned by Boeing, GM, and Raytheon.
Raytheon has since sold its share to GM and Boeing, but remains a
customer of Hughes Research Laboratories. Hughes Space and
Communications Company was purchased by Boeing in 2000 and renamed
Boeing Satellite Development Center. GM sold the remainder of Hughes
Electronics to News Corporation which renamed the company DirecTV
Group.




GM had other fish to fry at the time
