McDonnell Douglas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia McDonnell Douglas was a major American aerospace manufacturer, producing a number of famous commercial and military aircraft. Following Boeing's 1996 acquisition of Rockwell's North American division, McDonnell Douglas and Boeing merged in 1997 in a $13 billion stock-swap to create The Boeing Company. 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. www.pineville.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/McDonnell_Douglas

McDonnell Douglas DC-10 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a three-engined 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. The DC-10 was McDonnell Douglas's first wide-bodied commercial airliner, built to a specification from American Airlines for a widebody aircraft smaller than the Boeing 747 but capable of flying similar long-range routes. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_DC-10

McDonnell Douglas Following the merger of the two companies, McDonnell Douglas was contracted to convert of its Saturn V third stages into the Skylab space station. Both Douglas Aircraft, founded in 1928 by Donal Willie Douglas (1892-1981), and Douglas Aircraft, founded in 1939 by James Smith McDonnell (1899-1980), made important contributions to the U.S. space program. An American aerospace company formed from the 1967 merger of McDonnell Aircraft Corporation and Douglas Aircraft. www.daviddarling.info /encyclopedia/M/McDonnell_Douglas.html

McDonnell Douglas McDonnell Douglas agreed to the merger, and the aerospace industry was reduced to three major participants: Boeing, Lockheed, and Europe's Airbus. The merger was essentially a takeover by McDonnell of the financially troubled Douglas, with James McDonnell as chairman. McDonnell Douglas Corporation (MDC) was one of the most dominant aerospace companies in the world. www.centennialofflight.gov /essay/Aerospace/McDac/Aero32.htm

Los Angeles Business Journal: McDonnell scans partners for new plane - McDonnell Douglas Corp.'s new wide-body plane MD-12X McDonnell Douglas, which operates Douglas Aircraft Co. in Long Beach, where the MD-11 is assembled, has acknowledged it is looking for a partner to share in the costs of the project but has declined to identify any companies. McDonnell Douglas, based in St. Louis, is currently in the early stages of the program, writing what it calls its "business plan" for the project. Since McDonnell Douglas has said it plans to make the new plane outside the Southland, the talks raise the possibility that some work -- and jobs -- on the new project may be recouped for this area. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m5072/is_n29_v_13/ai_11105054

Boeing - McDonnell Douglas History, Skywarrior, A3D (A-3) (B-66), Carrier-based bomber Both Douglas and McDonnell were of Scottish ancestry; both were graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and both spent time as chief engineers for the Glenn L. Martin Co. aircraft manufacturer. "What's past is prologue," Shakespeare wrote, and it is in that sense, with a keen anticipation of the future, that by 1995 McDonnell Douglas had marked 75 years of service to the community, the nation and the world. Separated by seven years in age, and by 2,000 miles, James Smith McDonnell and Donald Wills Douglas shared the same goals, the same motivation and the same belief in the future of aviation. www.boeing.com /history/mdc

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet McDonnell Douglas' experience was useful because of their extensive background in carrier-based fighter design. For this reason, Mcdonnell Douglas became the primary contractor with Northrop being the major subcontractor. The Mcdonnell Douglas F-18 flew for the first time on November 18th, 1987. www.stormpages.com /attila/adat1.html

TAHC -  EAGLE AIR Cargo Division McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30CF McDonnell Douglas has gotten the short end of the stick in recent times, losing a much-sought-after Pentagon contract for the radar-evading joint strike fighter and seeing commercial jet orders drop.

TIME.com Print Page: Nation -- Feds Ready to Indict McDonnell Douglas for Illegal Exports to China But investigators have said they have evidence that the Chinese intended all along to put the equipment to military use, and that McDonnell Douglas knew that the plant where the machines were supposed to be used was behind schedule and might not be built at all. A chapter on the McDonnell Douglas sale was included in last May's report by a select congressional committee on transfers of American technology to China. Federal prosecutors have told lawyers for McDonnell Douglas to expect a criminal indictment in connection with its 1994 export of machine tools to China unless the company agrees to a plea bargain later this month. www.time.com /time/nation/printout/0,8816,32084,00.html

FOIA Post (2004): Full Court Review Sought in McDonnell Douglas Unit Price Case The case stems from a June 1998 contract entered into between the Air Force and McDonnell Douglas for maintenance of certain KC-10 and KDC-10 aircraft, which are used for aerial refueling of other military aircraft. Instead, it focused on and completely rejected the Air Force's judgment that McDonnell Douglas was not likely to suffer competitive harm from disclosure of the option prices where price would be only one of many factors used to evaluate any possible future bid. Regarding the CLINs that McDonnell Douglas contended were made up primarily of vendor costs, McDonnell Douglas argued that its competitors probably obtained "the same or nearly the same" quotes from the same vendors and that disclosure of these CLINs therefore would allow them to calculate its "Vendor Pricing Factor."

United Press International: Partial defeat in McDonnell Douglas suit McDonnell Douglas, a subsidiary of Boeing, objected to the Air Force telling competitor, Lockheed Martin Aircraft Center, the details in an Air Force contract to McDonnell Douglas for maintenance and repair of the KC-10 and KDC-10 aircraft, both advanced tankers for refueling warplanes. In what the appeals panel called a 'reverse' Freedom of Information Act case, McDonnell Douglas appealed a decision by a federal judge to allow the information to be revealed to Lockheed. McDonnell Douglas said revealing the information would put it at a competitive disadvantage. www.upi.com /view.cfm?StoryID=20040727-105740-6089r

FTC: Joint Statement (Boeing/McDonnell Douglas) Though both Boeing and McDonnell Douglas develop fighter aircraft, there are no current or future procurements of fighter aircraft by the Department of Defense in which the two firms would likely compete. While McDonnell Douglas's prospects for future commercial aircraft sales are virtually non-existent, its commercial aircraft production assets are likely to remain in the market for the near future as a result of a modest backlog of aircraft orders.

WashingtonPost.com: Boeing -- McDonnell Douglas Merger Top officials of Boeing Co. and McDonnell Douglas Corp. were at Washington's Mayflower Hotel when they received word that the European Commission had endorsed the merger of their two firms, once fierce rivals in the defense, space and commercial airplane businesses. For his part, Van Miert backed off his original demand that Boeing put McDonnell Douglas's commercial aircraft division up for sale for six months to see if a firm other than Boeing was willing to buy and operate it.
