 Douglas DC-8 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Douglas made a massive effort to close the gap, using no less than 10 individual aircraft for flight testing to achieve FAA certification for the first of the many DC-8 variants in August 1959.
The Douglas DC-8 is a four-engined jet airliner, manufactured between 1959 and 1972.
Another British aircraft, the 90-seat Bristol Britannia was establishing a reputation, and Douglas' main rival in the large piston engined passenger aircraft market, Lockheed, had committed to the short/medium range 80–100 seat turboprop Electra, with a launch order from American Airlines for 35 and other major orders flowing in.

One of the problems eliminated while testing the "8', was the injection of rocks, nuts and bolts-or what-have-you-into the lowslung air scoops.
This problem is licked with a "blowaway jet" that squirts compressed engine gases on the runway directly in front of the engine intakes to clear away any foreign matter.
All 26 of the pilots we will need by July of this year for the program are already working for Douglas.

 Lessons In Electric Circuits -- Volume I (DC) - Chapter 8
When a DC voltage is initially applied to a speaker, the resulting current through it will move the speaker cone and produce an audible "click." Another "click" sound will be heard when the DC source is disconnected.
Both the DC and AC scales have three sub-scales, one ranging 0 to 2.5, one ranging 0 to 5, and one ranging 0 to 10.
Most DC bridges are used to measure resistance, while bridges powered by alternating current (AC) may be used to measure different electrical quantities like inductance, capacitance, and frequency.

Douglas launched the DC-9 development project in April 1963, intending the DC-9 as a short-range companion to their larger four engined DC-8.
The Douglas DC-9 is a twin-engined jet airliner, first manufactured in 1965 and, in much modified form and under a succession of different names, still in production today as the Boeing 717.
The MD-80 designation was a marketing move to show that McDonnell Douglas had an airliner for the 1980s.
