These have included, in the past, Lewis and Vought Corporation, Chance Vought, Vought Sikorsky, LTV Aerospace ( part of Ling-Temco-Vought ), Vought Aircraft Companies, and the current Vought Aircraft Industries.

Vought was sold from LTV and owned in various degrees by the Carlyle Group and Northrop Grumman in the early 1990s.

Vought was bought by James Ling in 1962, forming the new conglomerate Ling-Temco-Vought ( LTV ).

Yet despite the buyout, Vought Aeronautics and Vought Missiles and Space continued to develop and produce for the Air Force and Navy under the umbrella of LTV Aerospace.

By the early 1980s, LTV was struggling, and Vought suffered heavy layoffs.

All of LTV Aerospace was renamed the Vought Corporation in 1976, but by 1983 the Vought company was again split along aeronautic and missile lines under LTV Aerospace and Defense.

The company then went into a series of divestitures, most notably the entire LTV Aerospace division ; the aerospace component retained the legacy Vought name as the independent Vought Corporation while the missile component later became part of Loral and later became the Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control division.

An 80 / 10 / 10 program uses a 10 % LTV second mortgage with a 10 % downpayment, and an 80 / 15 / 5 program uses a 15 % LTV second mortgage with a 5 % downpayment.

Low LTV ratios ( below 80 %) carry with them lower rates for lower-risk borrowers and allow lenders to consider higher-risk borrowers, such as those with low credit scores, previous late payments in their mortgage history, high debt-to-income ratios, high loan amounts or cash-out requirements, insufficient reserves and / or no income documentation.

In the UK, mortgages with an LTV of up to 125 % were quite common in the run-up to the national / global economic problems, but today ( November 2011 ) there are very few mortgages available with an LTV of over 90 %-and 75 % LTV mortgages are the most common.
