	McDonnell Douglas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 Douglas DC-10 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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 attempted to place the blame on the employee, whom they described as "illiterate", and deflected criticism of the aircraft design itself.
		Although McDonnell Douglas was not at fault for the pylon separation, it redesigned the DC-10 to allow more redundancies in the hydraulic systems.

	McDonnell Douglas DC-9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The McDonnell Douglas DC-9 (initially known as the Douglas DC-9) is a family of twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliners, first manufactured in 1965 and subsequently, in greatly modified form, under a succession of different names.
		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.
		It was an immediate commercial success, and 976 were built by Douglas which then merged with McDonnell in 1967.

	McDonnell Douglas DC-10
		Douglas was one of the losers in the USAF CX-HLS contest for a big military airlifter, which resulted in the Lockheed C-5A Galaxy.
		McDonnell Douglas targeted an in-service date in 1975, but in the end considered the twin a danger for its own DC-10-10 trijet, and didn't develop it.
		Although McDonnell Douglas was a master in stretching aircraft like the DC-8 and DC-9 and although it considered lengthened versions of the DC-10 from the beginning, it never did so until it launched the MD-11 in 1986.

	The DC-3
		Douglas was a little hesitant about accepting the project at first since he anticipated a limited production run and because American was low on cash.
		Douglas realized, however, that reliance on the DC-2 limited use of the new plane in a wide variety of roles and the plane was substantially redesigned.
		Douglas built a total of 10,655 of the DC-3 series and about another 2,500 planes were built under license in the Soviet Union and Japan.

	Feature, 12/06/96: McDonnell Douglas/Boeing Collaborate
		From McDonnell Douglas' perspective, they think it is a very important agreement for them, strategic in nature, and where they use the terms "strategic collaboration" they in fact mean that.
		They responded that their expectation is that over the long haul Boeing's view of Douglas and their primary benefit for them to think about working with Douglas is that they are the only other company in the United States that has the ability to design, fab, assemble, test, certify, and deliver their kinds of products.
		McDonnell Douglas indicated that there is a great demand for technical staff throughout the country.

	McDonnell Douglas v. NLRB
		McDonnell Douglas defends its decision to reclassify the 32 engineers on several grounds, all but the last of which rely on various agreements with the union.
		McDonnell Douglas's threshold contention is that the Board should have deferred the union's unfair labor practice claim to arbitration, since the company's primary defense is that its actions were fully authorized by its agreements with the union, and the collective bargaining agreement provides for arbitration as a means of settling disputes about its meaning.
		McDonnell Douglas states that the Board's general policy is to defer to arbitration whenever the parties' agreement provides for arbitration, see Collyer Insulated Wire, 192 NLRB 837 (1971) (establishing the policy); United Technologies Corp., 268 NLRB 557, 559 (1984) (reaffirming Board's commitment to Collyer); Hammontree v.

	Howstuffworks "McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II"
		The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II started as the prototype McDonnell XF4H-1, which made its first flight on May 27, 1958 with crack test pilot Robert Little at the controls.
		The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II was far from aesthetically pleasing, but its versatility and fearsome armament capability assure its place as one of the world's most effective and feared fighters.
		The performance of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II was so exemplary that the United States Air Force selected it to be its front-line fighter.

		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.

	McDonnell Douglas MD-11
		The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 was the first of a new generation of large long-haul airliners emerging during the late 1980s.
		Although McDonnell Douglas was a master in stretching passenger jets like the DC-8 and DC-9 and although it considered stretching the DC-10 from the beginning, it never did so until the late 1980s when it launched the MD-11.
		One reason that it was difficult for McDonnell Douglas to attract new MD-11 customers was the fact that the aircraft struggled to meet its performance targets for range and fuel burn.

	AFG - McDonnell Douglas
		Douglas announced that the intercontinental version would have J75 (JT4A) engines, with Rolls-Royce Conways as an alternative, and the gross weights began to rise, to 120,200kg (265,000lb) for the domestic version and 130,410kg (287,500lb) in the intercontinental version - both these figures increaing further after the aircraft entered service.
		In the early 80ies Cammacorp in association with McDonnell Douglas launched a programme to retrofit the Dc 8 Sixty Series with the more economical and eveironmentally friendly CFM 56, thus the Dc 8-61, 62 & 63 retrofitted became the Dc 8-71, 72 & 73.
		From the offing Douglas intended to offer a wide range of models to cater for different airline requirments, this eventually gave Douglas a significant edge over BAC in the sales battles that followed in the mid-sixties.
