	North American Aviation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rockwell International (including the North American Aviation and Rocketdyne divisions) were sold to Boeing in 1996.
		North American's follow-on to the BT-9 was the T-6 Texan trainer, of which 17,000 were built, making it the most widely used trainer ever.
		Originally powered by an Allison engine, a suggestion by the RAF that North American switch to the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine may have been one of the most significant events in WWII aviation, as it produced the P-51 Mustang, considered by many to be the best American fighter of the war.

	North American, The Rockwell Group - History
		North American Aviation was incorporated in 1928 as a holding company for many of the new aviation ventures that had arisen in the US during the prosperous 1920s.
		During World War II, the CAC (under license) manufactured the North American P-51 Mustang fighter and in the 1950s, the NA F-86 Sabre jet was also built in Australia.
		A Rockwell International sales office was opened in Canberra in 1979 with a staff of just two, but by 1983 it was necessary to move to larger premises - the staff had grown temporarily to 50 during the preparation of the tender on the combat system for the Royal Australian Navy's new Collins Class submarines.

		Therefore, North American’s airline interests were separated from its airplane-building concerns, and 39-year-old James Howard "Dutch" Kindelberger became President and General Manager of General Aviation, leaving a career as vice president of engineering at Douglas Aircraft.
		The NA-16, a fixed-gear, two-place, low-wing monoplane, won the trainer competition in 1934 and, on April 1, 1935, became the first North American model-numbered airplane to be flown.
		North American’s first contract for a basic combat-type airplane came in 1937 with completion of the BC-1, a derivative of the NA-16.

		The semiconductor manufacturer American Micro-systems Inc. moved into calculator manufacture under the trade name Unicom, but was bought by Rockwell International in 1972.
		The Rockwell company NRMEC (North-American Rockwell Microelectronics Corporation) was a pioneer in manufacturing LSI MOS calculator ICs, used in early Sharp Calculators.
		Rockwell's subsidiary Lloyd's was also sold a wide range of calculators, though only a few were manufactured by Rockwell while most were made in Asia.

	BBC - h2g2 - The Saturn/Apollo Stack
		North American's Space and Information Systems Division was headed by NAA vice president Harrison A 'Stormy' Storms and included in their Apollo design team John Paup as program manager, Norman J Ryker Jnr as chief designer and Charles H Feltz who already had links with NASA from his work with the X-15 rocket plane production.
		Developed by North American Aviation, the function of the LET as part of the Abort Escape System (AES), was to provide a means of escape for the crew in an emergency from five minutes before lift off, until three minutes into the launch.
		As with North American, relations between NASA and Grumman were at times strained, not least on the late delivery of the first flying lunar module LM-1.

		In the later months of 1967, Rees visited North American and soon realized that cooperation between the prime contractor and the subsystem suppliers was not close enough.
		North American engineers, he said, should spend more time at the subcontractors' plants while subsystem assemblies were in critical stages of fabrication.
		Cortright found that neither North American nor Grumman knew enough about the status of their subcontractors' work to be able to forecast deliveries with any degree of accuracy.

	The Crisis in Manufacturing Is A Result of Failed Policy
		This crisis is not the result of a failure of American manufacturing; it is the result of a failure of economic and trade policy.
		American manufacturing is the most efficient in the world, but even it cannot compete when hobbled by an over-valued dollar that puts it at a 30 percent cost disadvantage.
		American workers are therefore asked to finance destruction of their jobs.

		North American Aviation was incorporated in Delaware in 1928 and built many famous aircraft including the P-51 Mustang, B-25 Mitchell bomber, F-86 Sabre, XB-70 Valkyrie, and X-15 experimental rocket plane.
		On September 22, 1967, North American Aviation Inc. and Rockwell Standard Corporation of Pittsburgh (a manufacturer of automotive components and builder of the Aero Commander series of civil aircraft) merged to form North American Rockwell Corporation.

		The shuttle, to be constructed by the North American Rockwell Corporation, will be a two-stage vehicle with the booster consisting of two large solid-fueled rocket motors.
		The booster would be flown back by a crew located in the nose of the left-hand rocket stage, maintaining a high angle of attack until reaching subsonic speed, to minimize heating.
		North American visualized a vehicle with outer wing panels that would fold downward from a vertical fin position to provide sufficient lift for the landing approach.

	#162 Apollo Space Command Module (1968) - Landmarks
		The command module, built by North American Aviation (at the time of launch, North American Rockwell Corporation), accommodated three astronauts during the mission.
		It was the only portion of the Apollo spacecraft system designed to withstand the intense heat of atmospheric re-entry at 25,000 mph and complete the mission intact.
		North American Rockwell was the name of the company from 1967 to 1973, encompassing the time in which the Apollo 14 construction was completed and in which the Apollo program was completed, and as such it should be used to reflect historical accuracy.

		Generally, these measures have sought to thwart the aims of social justice movements, embodying the concept that within the civilian body politic lurks an enemy that one day the military might have to fight, or at least be ordered to fight.
		Unfortunately, the American corporate/military directorship, which has the power to enforce its' definition of "disorder", sees democracy as a threat and permanent counter-revolution as a "national security" requirement.
		Fostering severe and targeted "austerity", massive inequality and unbridled greed, while shifting more and more billions to the generals and the rich, the de-regulated "entities of force" and their interlocking corporate directors know quite well what their policies are engendering, namely, a growing resistance.

		Ralph Deutsch was employed in a scientific capacity in Anaheim, California, for what was then known as the Autonetics Division of North American Rockwell Corporation.
		Deutsch and Rockwell were developing a new musical system based on technologies totally unfamiliar to me. They wanted to establish a joint venture with a musical instrument manufacturer such as Allen Organ Company in order to create a commercial market for their radically new technology.
		I couldn't believe that Rockwell, so famous for its connection with the fabulous Apollo moon flight mission, would be approaching "little" Allen Organ with a joint-venture proposal.
