Answer 9

Most aircraft manufacturing companies have called themselves "XXXX Aircraft" over the years, and still do today.

As in Boeing Aircraft or McDonnell-Dounglas Aircraft.

"Aerospace" is a neat new word, but it does not necessarily mean an aircraft manufacturing company.  It can be anybody that makes anything related to aircraft or space exploration, from bolts or brake pads right on up.

Answer 10

MacDonell Douglas does not exist any more as it was taken over by Boeing. If the company only makes aircraft, then it is an aircraft company or aircraft manufacturer. If it makes aircraft and satellites and/or spacecraft then it is an aerospace company.

Answer 11

Boeing or Airbus.
