	Ryan Aeronautical Company
		Ryan also acquired the Douglas Cloudster and used it as a passenger plane after modifying it to accommodate passengers in an enclosed cabin.
		Ryan received a Navy contract in December 1943, to develop the XFR-1 compound fighter, with a piston engine mounted conventionally in the nose and a turbojet engine in the rear fuselage and exhausting through the tail.
		Ryan was acquired by Teledyne, Inc., for $128 million in 1968 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Teledyne in February 1969.

		Ryan Aeronautical's UAVs are generally recoverable and reusable vehicles used for sophisticated military missions, such as reconnaissance, with the operators safely flying them from remote control centers.
		The Company is currently involved in the investigation and remediation of a number of sites under the environmental laws, including approximately 37 sites at which the Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, commonly known as Superfund, or similar state statutes.
		However, although the Company cannot predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, the 22 Company's management is not aware of any pending matter that is likely to result in such action, or that is otherwise likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or liquidity.

		Ryan, no longer an owner and far removed from the design or construction of "The Spirit of St. Louis," built a protective shell that shielded him from the onrush of news media inquiries about his role in the saga.
		In the years the followed, Ryan built the first jet-plus-propeller aircraft for the Navy and the first successful vertical takeoff and landing aircraft -the Ryan X13 Vertijet.
		Claude Ryan died in 1982 at the age of eighty-four while he sketched a rough design concept for a plane with simplified controls.

	Ryan, with 2,000 workers, flying high after lean years \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Ryan plans to hire 200 more employees in the coming year as work gears up on a $1 billion contract to develop the X-47B, an unmanned combat aircraft that represents the Pentagon's next generation of warplanes.
		Ryan's transition began nearly two decades ago, Mitchell said, as the Department of Defense turned to unmanned aircraft as a way to meet increasing needs for intelligence and surveillance.
		Ryan was an apt choice because the company had built jet-powered drones that flew more than 3,400 reconnaissance and electronic eavesdropping missions in Vietnam.

		Ryan Aeronautical Company, San Diego, Calif., responding to urgent requests from Navy air commanders with our task forces opposing the Japs, rushed into production during the Summer of 1945 its new, jet-pushed, propeller-pulled Fireball fighter.
		Ryan already had readjusted its total personnel and production to the realistic demands of peacetime requirements, but retained 1,700 employees, which was a substantial employment level compared with postwar years.
		Ryan went through a very progressive development during the war, having gone from building small numbers of relatively simple primary training planes to design, engineering and volume production of its Navy Fireball jet-pushed, propeller-pulled fighters of extremely advanced design.

	Curtiss-Wright Corporation - The Spirit of Innovation
		Although the Wright brothers were no longer involved with the company (Wilbur had died and Orville had other interests), it can be said that the Wright Aeronautical engine tradition began with the first Wright brothers' engine in 1903.
		While the Company became involved in a number of businesses during the coming years, it was during this decade that the cornerstones of what the Company is today were put into place.
		With the decline of Curtiss-Wright's engine business, the Company redirected the skills and physical facilities of its overhaul business to refurbishing and rebuilding industrial gas generators, which were essentially derivatives of jet engine technology.

	XF2R Dark Shark
		The Ryan XF2R Dark Shark was an experimental aircraft built for the United States Navy that combined turboprop and turbojet propulsion.
		It was based on Ryan's earlier FR Fireball but replaced the Fireball's piston engine with a General Electric T-31 turboprop engine driving a huge 4-bladed Hamilton propeller.
		The United States Air Force, however, showed a little more interest; they were at the time evaluating the Convair XP-81 of similar concept, and asked Ryan to modify the XF2R to use the Westinghouse J-34 turbojet instead of the General Electric J-31 used previously.

	More info about the Ryan Pt-22 "Recruit" Trainer
		Though not as successful or as well known as the PT 17 or the PT l9, the Army Air Force utilized the PT 22 as a primary trainer throughout World War II and, today, the aircraft is sought after by warbird collectors around the world.
		Yet, despite the fame and attention that the "Spirit of St. Louis" brought to the Ryan Aeronautical Company, Ryan decided to concentrate more on building his flight training schools rather than additional aircraft.
		By 1933 however, Ryan was once again designing aircraft and introduced a low-wing monoplane with fixed landing gear, the Sport-Trainer (more commonly referred to as the "Ryan ST").
