Vultee Aircraft, Inc. var en amerikansk flygplanstillverkare som grundades 1939 i Los Angeles County, Kalifornien, när aeroplanavdelningen Vultee (Vultee Aircraft Division) till flygförvaltningsbolaget AVCO (the Aviation Corporation) omorganiserades till ett självständigt företag.[2][3] Det hade begränsad framgång innan det slogs samman med Consolidated Aircraft Corporation 17–18 mars 1943 för att bilda Convair (förkortning av Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation).[4][5]
