Although he has not finished reading the process of McDonnell Douglas being merged by Boeing, Yang Hui believes that the reason this time is definitely not only the reason why McDonnell Douglas's civil aircraft division is dragging its feet, although the entire industry has finally summarized the reasons for McDonnell Douglas's merger in the previous meeting, all of which point to the pig teammates of the civil aircraft division without exception.

There is not much error in this statement in the previous face, at least in fact, it is true, the previous McDonnell Douglas in the military aircraft division, there are F-15, F-18, C-17 and other projects, those are quite expensive, and there is even a saying that the McDonnell and Douglas companies will not merge into McDonnell Douglas, and there will be no end to McDonnell Douglas being dragged to death as a whole after that.

You must know that this McDonnell Douglas was also merged by the merger of two American aviation industry giants in the sixties, first of all, McDonald Company was the big brother in the manufacture of military fighters, and in the fifties made the only one in American history that unified the naval deck, the land base of the air force, and the heavy fighter F-4 Phantom 2 fighter of various US allies.

With the poor competition between the U.S. Navy and the Air Force, a saltwater chicken that was positioned as a naval fighter from the beginning was able to enter service in the Air Force, which in itself shows the awesomeness of the F-4 aircraft, so the MacDonald Company in the 60s relied on the F-4 aircraft to be infinitely beautiful and also make a lot of money.

And if you want to talk about the Douglas company in the sixties, it is even more legendary, the company made the D-3 transport aircraft is the world's first aircraft to complete the round-the-world flight (except for the heresy of seaplanes), and then manufactured a variety of propeller era military and civilian transport aircraft/passenger aircraft, which can be said to be the world's best-seller, when Douglas's position in the field of transport aircraft/passenger aircraft was even almost monopolistic, in World War II is a great contribution.

In the field of jet airliners after the war, Douglas also had the DC-8 passenger aircraft that could compete with the Boeing 707, and the DC-9 (later called the McDonnell Douglas series) that could compete with the Boeing 737.

Not only the civilian passenger aircraft manufacturing awesome, the then Douglas company also developed another world-selling A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft, which also proves from the side that Douglas company in the 60s, if it were not for Douglas was too aggressive to expand the civil aircraft business, which eventually led to a shortage of funds similar to Rolls-Royce's RB-211 project.

MacDonald could not have a chance to buy Douglas, after all, the United States at that time was not like the United Kingdom, which was the only aircraft engine manufacturer in the United Kingdom, and the government had to stand up to take over to ensure that Rolls-Royce survived the crisis.

The United States is different, at that time the United States had the ability to develop a complete aircraft company, that is at least double digits to calculate, in addition to the later known some surviving aviation giants, North American airlines at that time, the representative work is B-25, XB-70 bomber, there are other such as Republic, Walter, Martin, which was later eliminated in the trend of the times, mergers and acquisitions of companies, and even later focused on the field of helicopters Bell Company, At that time, there was also the technology to develop fixed-wing aircraft, such as the Bell X-1.

In the fifties and sixties, the United States was absolutely not short of companies developing aircraft, so the US government did not and could not have a reason to take over the bankruptcy crisis caused by Douglas's shortage of funds, but the McDonald Company, which had unlimited scenery in the 60s, saw Douglas's bankruptcy crisis because of its ambitions in the field of transport aircraft and passenger aircraft, and decisively chose to acquire.

Then there was the later famous McDonnell Douglas company, but this time the McDonald company acquisition was not very successful, at least after the merger of the company, there was a serious conflict in the corporate reorganization, Douglas has always believed that McDonald's acquisition is a danger of taking advantage of others, you want to talk about military fighters, Douglas developed the A-4 is also a variety of best-selling, at that time the popularity and popularity was not low.

The discord of these various reasons led to the fact that McDonnell Douglas seemed to be a wide-ranging and multi-level aerospace industry giant, but the intrigue and internal friction within the company slowly destroyed the giant's body from the inside, which can be regarded as an internal cause of McDonnell Douglas's fall.

It is not a wrong statement to say that according to the previous statement, if McDonald had not acquired Douglas, he should have been able to live freely in the field of military fighters in the future, which is actually not a wrong statement, after all, McDonnell Douglas of the previous face was later in the military fighter business, F-15, F-18, AV-8B, no matter which one is quite a good model, with these military aircraft models in hand, no matter how will it end up being merged by Boeing.

Talking about the history of the rise and fall of the previous McDonnell Douglas, and then look at the situation of this McDonnell Douglas, first of all, the civil airliner business is the same as the previous one, and it was also attacked head-on by Boeing and Airbus, plus MPC-75 and Fokker 100 on the side of the abusive move, McDonnell Douglas's civil aircraft business is not the slightest light of day, which is also the reason why the US government is secretly supporting Boeing's acquisition of McDonnell Douglas.

And McDonnell Douglas in this plane is not only a tragedy in terms of civil aircraft, but also in terms of military aircraft, there is no scenery from the previous one, although the F-15 is still in production, but the F-22 has begun to enter the fast lane of development and test flight, and it seems that the day of the complete elimination of the F-15 is constantly approaching.

The F-18E/F fighter is the only military fighter project that needs to be redeveloped in the 90s, but this one is because of the emergence of the AVIC Southwest J-18, and the F-18E/F project is also defeated by Grumman's F-14E/F fighter, and even the AV-8B is because of the launch of the JSF project at this time, and it seems that the day of elimination is not far away.

So at this time, McDonnell Douglas's military aircraft business looks like a tight one, but in the future, it has actually been lost, in this case, McDonnell Douglas is like a middle-aged man in his 40s, which looks pretty good, but after more than ten years, it will be more than half a hundred years old.

Therefore, out of consideration in all aspects, the US government not only feels that McDonnell Douglas's civil aircraft business needs to merge with Boeing, but also needs to have a good relationship with Boeing in terms of military aircraft business, merge McDonnell Douglas's military business with Boeing, and after integration, it will not be necessary to look at Boeing's **** general military business.

I still hope that McDonnell Douglas's military aircraft business can lead Boeing's military aircraft business to improve, but this result finally fell into the hands of BoeingMcDonnell Douglas in the military aircraft business, and even has a suspicion of being infected by Boeing's military fighter business's unique comic disease, which is really miserable!
