William M. Magruder was a test pilot and aeronautical engineer during the twentieth century. From 1949 to 1956, Magruder served as a test pilot and engineer for the U.S. Air Force Flight Test Division and Flight Test Center, where he test flew and supervised the engineering of a number of aircraft, including the North American F-86 Sabrejet and Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. After leaving the military in 1956, he worked for Douglas Aircraft Company (1956-1963), where he helped design and test piloted the Douglas DC-8 airliner. From 1963 to 1967, Magruder worked for Lockheed Corporation, where he supervised the design and development of the Lockheed L-1011 airliner and served as test engineer and project pilot on the company's Supersonic Transport (SST) program. From 1970 to 1971, he served as Director of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Director of SST Development.
