Mercury Corporation was originally an aircraft manufacturer established in Hammondsport, New York, United States in 1920. It built aircraft using the name Mercury Aircraft.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
Mercury started as an aircraft supply house selling surplus parts for Curtiss JN-4 aircraft flown after World War I. Once the supply of parts ran out, the company manufactured various aircraft components including radios and dirigible gondolas.
In 1927, the company renamed itself Mercury Aircraft. It was led by Joseph F. Meade, Sr. and Harvey Mummert.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> In 1928, Mercury came out with the two place all-metal aircraft, the T-2 Mercury Chic for $3500.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
With a close relationship to Curtiss aircraft's home. Mercury built a replica of the 1908 AEA June Bug in 1976, flying it in airshows across the country.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
Mercury Corporation now operates in multiple locations around the world manufacturing custom and mass-production components.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
