McDonnell Douglas DC-9 Series 50

TheThe McDonnell Douglas DC-9 is a single-aisle airliner designed and produced by the Douglas Aircraft Company. The design was proposed to produce a smaller variant similar to the DC-8, which was much more significant in size and capacity. The initial design incorporated two rear-mounted Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofans under the T-tail. These turbofans allowed for a cleaner wing design and airstairs built into the fuselage. The latest addition to the family was the Series 50 DC-9-51 model, the largest aircraft in the range, accommodating up to 139 passengers due to a further extended fuselage. The aircraft’s cabin was also modernised, along with minor improvements on the plane, such as modified thrust reversers and fins installed below the side cockpit.
