>be McDonnell>founded in 1939>making aircraft PARTS>by '43 you're already designing a new fighter using this fancy Anglo-Germano space magic engineMan, the MIC really was easier back then.
It must have become more efficient.
>>64609328>Don't talk to me or my 149 sons ever again.
>>64609328Back when the engineers were still white
>>64609328I have been trying to learn how to use a slide rule. I have a Dirva in decent shape from Denmark, still with the eood case. At work I use a Vernier caliper to keep my skills up. Mitutoyo, found super cheap through Amazon resale.
>>64609579All the engineers in my shop are. They have one token black kid, but I'm fairly sure they hired him for Biden and now are stuck with him.
>>64609284Wait until you hear about Anduril
>>64609603If its just one guy and hes really nonthreatening and generally acts like a white man, he's probably there on merit.
>>64609579most of the mic still is, nonwhite people with STEM degrees generally take a dim view of working for the US military, though not always
>>64609672Don't bother me none. I got approached by a white commie on my uni campus who was like "Lockheed makes the weapons that kill your brothers and sisters in the middle east, and you want to work for them?". I just looked at him and said I wasn't muslim so yes I do, and he got even more upset lmao.
>>64609792Based
>the MIC>back thenNo comparing western civilization aka The Borg now, to western civilization in the 3 decades post-World War II>by '43the years 1939 to 1950 saw a complete transformation of aviation technology and propulsion systems (even piston engines from 1940 to 1943 saw a doubling and tripling of power output)In aeronautics and electronics fields and industry it was a rate and scale of change, innovation that'll never be seen again.McDonnell Aircraft in Missouri was a small company that had cutting edge aerospace ideas for the World War II effort 1941-45 and postwar became a pillar of U.S. aerospace industry.
>>64609792Hello undergrad who completely fell for the defense contractor brainwashingI promise you'll detest your job unless you thrive in social environments reminiscent of fifth grave and don't mind micromanaging
Best fighter McDonnell Douglas ever made.
>>64609284>easierYou ever use a sliderule and T-square?
>>64612751>Best fighter the world ever sawFtfy.
>>64609284>anglo-germanois this one of those things where people claim every jet design is descended from kraut ones or is it literally designed from German engines?
>>64609663He has glasses and looks like he might be gay or watch anime.
>>64612300>job>securityAs long as your corporate officers are not ABSOLUTE fucking retards or other forms of poos, women and jews.
>>64612955England has been ruled by Germans since 1714. They changed to name to House of Windsor during WWI purely for morale purposes.
>>64612967look up your employer of choice on thelayoff and proceed to cry
>>64612751
>>64612300I mean it's been pretty fun for me so far since I do test engineering on different weapon platforms and it gets me closer to being a flight test engineer. Being a cad desk monkey would be depressing. >>64612977Aerospace in general usually has waves of mass hiring when contracts get secured, then firings when sustainment programs get cut. My move is to get a masters in optics so I can jump ship to ASML or some laser or camera related lab in case my current employer hits a snag but so far I think I'm good for at least 2 years with the current programs I'm on.
>>64609284Yeah
>>64613727>Being a cad desk monkey would be depressing.It is. Same for code monkeys. >then firings when sustainment programs get cut. Your security clearance is your blankie, hugher is better. Secrets get cut alot more than you think.
>>64609792>he thinks it's edgy to work for the military industrial complexI design data center infrastructure for a company that exclusively works with AI. I'm actually working for the bad guys.
>>64612974Fake news
>>64618859>The house was founded on July 17th 1917 when King George V changed the name of the Royal House from the “House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha” to the “House of Windsor” in response to anti-German sentiment.George V and Wilhelm II were cousins.
>>64609672>>64609792You know as well as I do that our MIC is all Jewish executives and Jeet engineers, with Mexicans doing the assembly and other menial labor. These are no longer American companies, but global companies, who wave the American flag for tax breaks while lobbying to send Americans to die in their wars. And, again, hiring Jeets during a time when Americans can't make ends meet. Earlier this year I saw a Northrop-Grumman billboard in a large military city with only a brown man in a Turban on it. So why should we be supporting these traitors again?
>>64612751>F2H>F-4>the Goblin (not fast, but interesting)>F-101>F-15every engineer with a mcdonnell contract was a maniac with a hardon for in thrust we trust, an autistic obsession on the level of Northrop's fascination with flying wings, and for that, i love them
Be Lockheed, in 1939.Offer Pic Related to the USAAC."Not Interested" they say.
>>64619817nice pic
>>64620773>range 300 miles*shrug*
>>64622984>*autistic bomber-mafia screeching*
>>64623514it's 1939, what the fuck does the US need an interceptor for?
>>64623984Intercepting
>>64624184intercepting the swarms of Amerika bombers coming over the pole?
>>64624113What the fuck IS that? It's like halfway between an F14 and an F15.
>>64612963The black kid with glasses is a strong stereotype. They are into naruto, dbz, fighting games, one piece, and other weeaboo topics.
>>64620446Holy shit, durgasoft. Actual goddamn durgasoft. The worst imaginable pajeetcode of memes, in actual aircraft?How do they not crash more?
>>64620389It was Hanover for most of those 300 years, and from the 2nd most definitely identified more heavily with Britain (because it was a major world power and Hanover was Hanover). George VI wife was Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, an anglo-scot, making his descendants (ie the Queen and the current flock of inbreds) ethnically bonglish to match the culture they already adhered to for centuriesSo he's not wrong, fake news
>>646239841939, average bomber speed is maybe 300 MPH.Lockheed offers an interceptor in the 400 ~500MPH range with unprecedented rates of climb and speed, plus heavy armament.USAAF says "naah, we good with P26's.".
>>64609284Everything was easier back then.
>>64612963Honorary white; genuinely sounds like a goodboy who dindunuffin
>>64620446Shit like this is why I got the fuck out of aviation, and ceased flying unless it was an absolute necessity.This kind of bullshit has been going on for over a decade, and it's only going to get worse. The cretins making the decisions for these companies would gleefully feed you and your family into a running woodchipper if it meant they got a 2% increase in their quarterly profit report.
>>64620446You sound like someone who's never actually worked in the industry
>>64630634Of course he hasn't. 90% chance he's a russian shill
>>64630345Yeah but imagine how hard it would be to get some good curry
>>64609284>be Douglas >die
