In the early 1960s Lockheed, McDonnell and North American were each vying for a military utility aircraft con¬tract and built commercial derivatives of their Air Force offerings to enter into the bizjet market.
First flown on 11 February 1959, the prototype was powered by 3250 lb Westinghouse J34 turbojets. They were to be replaced by newer 2900 lb Pratt & Whitney J60s.
The four engine McDonnell Model 220 only saw service as a one of a kind corporate barge for McDonnell executives.
The Model 119/220 was the first business, non-airline-type jet aircraft to receive an FAA Class I provisional type certificate as airworthy in the transport category.
