		McDonnell Douglas was a major American aerospace manufacturer, producing a number of famous commercial and military aircraft.
		McDonnell was also developing jets, but being smaller they were prepared to be more radical, building on their successful FH-1 Phantom to become a major supplier to the Navy with the Banshee, Demon, and the Voodoo.
		McDonnell made a number of missiles, including the unusual ADM-20 Quail[?], as well as experimenting with hypersonic flight, research that enabled them to gain a substantial share of the NASA projects Mercury and Gemini.

	McDonnell XP-67
		The McDonnell Aircraft Corporation of St Louis, Missouri was incorporated on July 6, 1939.
		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.

	McDonnell Douglas DC-10 Summary
		If, however, either part of the aircraft experiences a sudden decompression, the loss of equalizing pressure would cause the floor to buckle or collapse, resulting in damage to the control system, which is located in the interior spaces of the floor beams.
		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-engine medium- to long-range widebody airliner, with two engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer.
		The first aircraft was delivered to Finnair in 1981, followed by Swissair with two aircraft in 1982 and finally Thai Airways International with two in 1987 and one in 1988.
		Although the aircraft was destroyed with the loss of many lives, the crew flew the aircraft onto the runway in a partially controlled manner and over half of the passengers survived.

	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 engineers were interested in applying jet propulsion to combat aircraft and, since most of the more established Navy contractors were busy with production aircraft, the Bureau of Aeronautics chose McDonnell to develop a jet-powered, carrier-borne fighter.
		McDonnell was also interested in missiles, and it had received a Navy contract in 1944 for a radio-controlled device, the KUD-1 Gargoyle.

		When the prime contract for Mercury was awarded to McDonnell, the Corporation's vice-president for project management, David S. Lewis, assigned Logan T. MacMillan, a tall, tactful test pilot and mechanical engineer with a winning manner, to be companywide project manager with authority to mobilize the resources of the Corporation for the new venture.
		McDonnell and Honeywell controls engineers moved ahead with their development of the digital system while Chilton wrestled with the problem of raising the efficiency of the thirsty manual proportional thrusters.
		McDonnell and STG already were working with nine major subcontractors and 667 third-tier vendors, and the effort to man-rate all their products and all these subsystems - indeed each part from tiny diodes to the pressure vessel - required thawing out and refreezing the specification control drawings several times.

	Mr. Mac's Helicopters
		McDonnell Aircraft established a worldwide reputation as a developer and producer of excellent fighter aircraft.
		McDonnell helicopter programs included the world's first twin-engine helicopter, the first ramjet-powered helicopter to fly, and the first aircraft to successfully transition from rotor-borne vertical flight to wing-borne horizontal flight.
		The McDonnell engineers assigned to Platt-LePage quickly went to work applying their new-found knowledge to the design of a much-bigger helicopter of the same general configuration as the XR-1, proposing their Model 37 design to the U.S. Navy as a research helicopter.

	McDonnell XHJD-1
		Unfortunately, the technology that McDonnell pursued turned out to be an engineering dead end, and the aircraft that resulted from his efforts, the XHJD-1, represents the final attempt by a major manufacturer to field a conventional helicopter with laterally configured rotors.
		hen McDonnell founded the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation in 1939, the impending war promised a plethora of lucrative government contracts to aircraft manufacturers, but by 1942 the company only had subcontract jobs and was not close to selling its own designs.
		McDonnell's competitors were turning out new designs in half that time and when the Whirlaway's first flight occurred on April 27, 1946, with Charles R. Wood at the controls, the company had fallen far behind Piasecki and Sikorsky in the development of large helicopters.

		At the time, it was a small part of McDonnell's business and a modest outlay of government funds, but it officially set in motion what eventually became one of the largest technical mobilizations in American peacetime history.
		The relative roles of STG and McDonnell engineers in pushing the state of the art from design into construction are difficult to assess.
		Evidence that the earlier NASA capsule design continued to compete with the McDonnell configuration is found in studies of drogue parachute effectiveness in stabilizing the capsule at subsonic speeds.
