Mercury Corporation was originally an aircraft manufacturer established in Hammondsport, New York, United States in 1920.

Once the supply of parts ran out, the company manufactured various aircraft components including radios and dirigible gondolas.
Mercury built a replica of the 1908 AEA June Bug in 1976, flying it in airshows across the country.
