	The McDonnell Aircraft Corporation
		The McDonnell Voodoo was a supersonic fighter designed to escort bombers and serve as a fighter bomber, an all-weather interceptor and a photoreconnaissance aircraft.
		McDonnell was also interested in missiles, and it had received a Navy contract in 1944 for a radio-controlled device, the KUD-1 Gargoyle.
		McDonnell was also chosen in 1965 by the Air Force to develop the Manned Orbiting Laboratory, which was canceled in 1969.

	McDonnell Douglas
		The merger was essentially a takeover by McDonnell of the financially troubled Douglas, with James McDonnell as chairman.
		Other programs included the C-17 transport, T-45 Goshawk naval advanced trainer, awarded in November 1981, the A-12 naval strike aircraft with General Dynamics, the YF-23 with Northrop, the LHX with Bell, and the Harpoon, which was used on B-52H bombers.
		McDonnell Douglas agreed to the merger, and the aerospace industry was reduced to three major participants: Boeing, Lockheed, and Europe's Airbus.

	McDonnell Douglas DC-10 Summary
		McDonnell Douglas knew that Continental Airlines and American were using the forklift procedure and that it required extreme precision in positioning.
		(McDonnell Douglas had been formed in 1967 from the merger of Douglas Aircraft and McDonnell Aircraft Corporation.) The regulatory safety net, as always, was catching up to the problems posed by the new generation of wide-body jets.
		The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a three-engined medium to long-range airliner, with two engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer.

	McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II - Scramble
		The aircraft was to be deployed from a carrier, cruise out to a radius of 250 nautical miles, stay on combat air patrol and attack an intruder when required, and return to the carrier with a total deck cycle time of three hours.
		McDonnell reconfigured the AH-1 design by removing the guns, changing the fire control system to be compatible with air-to-air missiles, and removing all external armament stations except one at the centerline for a large external fuel tank.
		In 1958, the McDonnell F4H-1 and the Chance-Vought F8U-3, a competing aircraft for the same mission, were flown by Navy Preliminary Evaluation pilots at Edwards AFB.

	McDonnell XP-67
		McDonnell was certainly not a company to start small--as its first military project, the company immediately began a design study for a long range fighter.
		McDonnell's design team attempted to maintain true aerofoil sections throughout the entire airframe, the center fuselage and the rear portions of the engine nacelles merging smoothly together.
		The aircraft was clearly underpowered with its troublesome Continental engines, which failed to develop their design rating of 1350 hp, barely reaching 1060 hp.

		McDonnell’s XF-85, constructed in response to the Air Force’s MX-472 Parasite Fighter proposal, proved to be the smallest jet fighter ever built.
		The test aircraft was wheeled into a deep, specially-designed loading pit and the mother ship towed over it; its trapeze would be extended, and the XF-85 lifted into the bomb bay.
		Aircraft were pushing simple speed and altitude limititations on a daily basis, but also evaluating controllability, and studying various wing and tail configurations.

	F-85 McDonnell Parasite Jet Fighter
		McDonnell Aircraft of St Louis, a new, and certainly eager, company was willing to give it a try.
		McDonnell's original proposal was submitted in March 1945, and in October the USAAF ordered two prototypes under the designation XP-85, and with the stipulation that the resulting fighters had to fit entirely vi,ithin a B-36 bomb bay.
		A small, egg-shaped aircraft with vertically-folding wings and triple vertical tail surfaces, the fighter was intended to be launched from and recovered by a retractable trapeze.

	McDonnell XP-85/XF-85 Goblin
		McDonnell proposed a small fighter aircraft to be carried partially inside a parent B-29, B-36, or B-35 heavy bomber.
		On March 19, 1945, McDonnell submitted a revised proposal--a plan for a tiny aircraft with an egg-shaped fuselage, a triple vertical tail, a tailplane with pronounced anhedral, and vertically-folding swept-back wings.
		If an emergency landing were necessary, the aircraft was provided with a retractable steel skid underneath the fuselage, and the wingtips were protected by steel runners.

	McDonnell Aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was founded in 1939 by James Smith McDonnell, and later merged with the Douglas Aircraft Company, to form McDonnell Douglas in 1967.
		McDonnell Aircraft suffered after the war with an end of government orders and a surplus of aircraft.
		McDonnell began developing jets, building on their successful FH-1 Phantom to become a major supplier to the Navy with the F2H Banshee, F3H Demon, and the F-101 Voodoo.

	McDonnell F-4A (F4H-1) Phantom II
		McDonnell engineering and design efforts, under the management of Herman Barkley, led to a number of studies and proposals to upgrade the F3H by modifying the airframe, changing the engine and improving the weapons system.
		McDonnell overcame the high Mach number problem by incorporating 23 degrees of anhedral for the horizontal tail and 12 degrees of dihedral in the outer wing panels, yielding greater stability at high mach numbers and installing variable geometry intakes to control airflow at high speeds.
		Since aircraft companies are invariably highly reluctant to share knowledge with each other, transferring the F4H-1 flight control data from McDonnell to North American proved a daunting task but was done under supervision of the BUWEPS.

	WBDG: Aviation Hangar
		Aircraft hangars are commonly referred to as "glorified garages" for airplanes.
		In the commercial aircraft sector the designer needs to rely on Facility and Planning Criteria that are issued by the aircraft manufacturers for their aircraft or a third party compilation of data.
		Minimum separation distances between aircraft and minimum distances between the aircraft and other obstructions are defined in some building codes and in AFH 32-1084 Standard Facilities Requirements Handbook.

		McDonnell Douglas was especially interested in the NASA fighter study as an extremely valuable adjunct to the company’s design effort on the F-15.
		McDonnell Douglas had done considerable homework as a result of the F-4 experience, and entered the F-15 development program with an appreciation of the stability and control features required.
		McDonnell Douglas also removed a portion of wing near the wingtips to alleviate an objectionable buffet characteristic at transonic maneuvering conditions; however, the requirements for this modification came from flight-test evaluations.

		Langley, McDonnell Douglas, the Air Force, and the Navy investigated wing modifications to improve the maneuverability and handling characteristics, which resulted in incorporation of leading-edge slats on later versions of the aircraft.
		McDonnell Douglas became interested in wing modifications for the F-4 that would improve buffet onset and increase lift and turning performance, while retaining satisfactory characteristics for approach and landing.
		The radio-controlled model was used by Charles E. Libbey to determine aircraft motions after loss of control at high angles of attack and to demonstrate the beneficial effects of the leading-edge slat modification.
