Enrichment (EN)

Disambiguation: McDonnell Douglas Corporation was formed in 1967 from the merger of McDonnell Aircraft Corporation (founded 1939) and Douglas Aircraft Company (founded 1921). Should not be confused with its predecessor companies or its successor Boeing (merged 1997).

McDonnell Douglas Corporation was a major American aerospace and defense contractor formed on April 28, 1967, through the merger of McDonnell Aircraft Corporation and Douglas Aircraft Company. The company, headquartered near St. Louis, Missouri, manufactured iconic military fighters (F-15 Eagle, F/A-18 Hornet) and commercial aircraft (DC-10, MD-80). Between 1967 and 1970, McDonnell Douglas conducted an internal study on gravity propulsion and unidentified anomalous phenomena, employing nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman from June 1969 to June 1970. Toward the end of spring 1970, the project garnered interest from U.S. intelligence agencies, resulting in a draft proposal called Project Skylite to "mimic, imitate or duplicate the observables associated with UFOs." The corporation merged with Boeing in August 1997 for $13 billion, ceasing to exist as an independent entity.

McDonnell Douglas Corporation foi uma grande contratante aeroespacial e de defesa americana formada em 28 de abril de 1967, através da fusão da McDonnell Aircraft Corporation e Douglas Aircraft Company. A empresa, sediada perto de St. Louis, Missouri, fabricou caças militares icônicos (F-15 Eagle, F/A-18 Hornet) e aeronaves comerciais (DC-10, MD-80). Entre 1967 e 1970, McDonnell Douglas conduziu um estudo interno sobre propulsão por gravidade e fenômenos anômalos não identificados, empregando o físico nuclear Stanton Friedman de junho de 1969 a junho de 1970. Hacia o final da primavera de 1970, o projeto atraiu o interesse de agências de inteligência dos EUA, resultando em uma proposta preliminar chamada Project Skylite para "imitar ou duplicar os observáveis associados com OVNIs". A corporação se fundiu com a Boeing em agosto de 1997 por 13 bilhões de dólares, deixando de existir como entidade independente.
