And the industry has always been one of the important projects to conduct of the country. The industry involves not only technology, capitals but also politics. In order to maintain the influential power to the world, countries, especially the United States and Western Europe invest huge amount in this industry. However, under the globalization and high oil prices era, the industry encounters some difficulties to change. Outsourcing has become the solution for those manufacturers. The high growth of economic in Asia becomes another battle field for western countries to fight, especially in China. Chinese power is getting stronger; however, western countries concern about the special political backgrounds in China. Nevertheless, conducting business and finding cheap labor resource have been multinational companies’ priority these days. The influential power of multinational companies and those parent countries become the major decision maker in the game. The Boeing Company has all the characteristics of these controversial issues. Chinese government, the Boeing Company, the rival Airbus and the U.S. government in the game would affect the industry.

  • Us Navy Aircraft.Pdf
    US NAVY AIRCRAFT Douglas A-4B Skyhawk In the early 1950s, the Navy sought a jet-powered replacement for the large, piston-engined AD-1 Skyraider. Noted aircraft designer Edward Henry “Ed” Heinemann led his team in creating the Skyhawk, an aircraft weighing half as much as the Skyraider. The A- 4 Skyhawk features a modified delta wing with a span of only twenty-seven and one half feet that did not require folding for carrier hangar storage or transport to the flight deck. The A-4 met all Navy performance requirements and set a world speed record of 695 mph (1119 kph) in 1954, earning the craft the nickname “Heinemann’s Hot Rod.” The A-4 was flown by Senator John McCain off the USS Forrestal during the Vietnam War. He had previously flown Skyraiders off the Intrepid. The A-4B Skyhawk displayed on the hangar deck is painted to resemble one that flew off the Intrepid during her first Vietnam tour. The in flight photograph of this aircraft was provided by Gerald Sagehorn, a pilot who flew this aircraft off Intrepid. The A-4B Skyhawk on loan from the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida. Grumman/Eastern Aircraft TBM-3E Avenger 3E Avenger First flown in 1941 and introduced operationally in June 1942, the Avenger became the U.S. Navy’s standard torpedo bomber throughout World War II, with more than 9,836 constructed. Designed and built by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Coporation, they were affectionately nicknamed “turkeys” for their somewhat ungainly appearance. Avengers flew off the Intrepid throughout her World War II career.

  • James Smith Mcdonnell
    Daniel Guggenheim Medal MEDALIST FOR 1963 For lifetime contribution of outstanding nature in the design and development of military aircraft, and for pioneer work in space technology. JAMES SMITH MCDONNELL James Smith McDonnell early in life decided to become a builder of aircraft of his own design. The result has been a long series of major contributions to aircraft development, and to space flight advancement as well. Born April 9, 1899, in Denver, Colorado, he entered Princeton University in 1917 and was graduated in 1921 with the degree of Bachelor of Science. He entered Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study aeronautical engineering, and at the same time applied for admission to the Army Air Corps Flying School in San Antonio, Texas, where he learned to fly. He received his Master’s degree from MIT in 1925. He began his aeronautical career as a test pilot with the Huff-Daland Aircraft Company. In late 1924 he joined Consolidated Aircraft Company in Buffalo, New York, as stress analyst and draftsman. A year later he became assistant chief engineer of the Stout Metal Airplane Company, and in 1926 chief engineer of Hamilton-Aero Manufacturing Company. In 1928 he formed McConnell and Associates in Chicago to design and build a small monoplane for the Guggenheim Safe Aircraft Competition. The plane, The Doodlebug, performed well on flight tests, but the engine failed twice during preliminary trials, putting the plane out of the Competition. He repaired it later and used it successfully in a barnstorming tour. In 1933 he joined the Glenn L. Martin Company, where he became chief projects engineer for land planes.

RAYMOND JAMES SMITH McDONNELL was an aeronautical engineer and busi­ nessman whose foresight and dynamic leadership created one of the world's great aerospace manufacturing organizations. He was born in Denver, Colorado, on April 9, 1899, and died on August 22, 1980, in St. Louis, Missouri. Educated in the schools of Little Rock, Arkansas, he entered Princeton in 1917 and graduated in 1921 with a Bachelor of Science degree and honors in physics. Deciding upon a career in aviation, he joined the Army Air Corps for flight training at San Antonio, Texas, and was given his wings as a Reserve Second Lieutenant in January 1924. Meanwhile, he had enrolled in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the only uni­ versity offering graduate courses in aeronautics at that time, from which he received a master's degree in aeronautics in 1925, one of a class of four. For the next four years he worked in various aircraft companies in a number of positions, including that of Assistant Chief Engineer with the Stout Metal Airplane Company of Dearborn, Michigan, designer of the Ford Trimotor. Starting out on his own in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Mr. McDon­ nell and his associates built a two­place low­wing airplane to com­ pete in the $100,000 Guggenheim Safe Airplane competition in 1929. Though this airplane , which he called the "Doodlebug," was unsuccessful in that effort, he spent a year making demonstration flights around the United States in the hope of finding a market for it 199 Copyright National Academy of Sciences.
