  McDonnell Douglas DC-9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The McDonnell Douglas DC-9 (initially known as the Douglas DC-9) is a family of twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliners, first manufactured in 1965 and subsequently, in greatly modified form, under a succession of different names.
Douglas launched the DC-9 development project in April 1963, intending the DC-9 as a short-range companion to their larger four engined DC-8.
In 1983 the world saw the advent of the DC-9-80 series (MD-80) which was a lengthened DC-9-50 with a higher MTOW (maximum take-off weight) and the ability to carry more fuel.

The Douglas DC-9 is a twin-engined jet airliner, first manufactured in 1965 and, in much modified form and under a succession of different names, still in production today as the Boeing 717.
It was an immediate commercial success, and 976 were built by Douglas who then merged with McDonnell Douglas (MDC).
The Boeing 717 was slated to wear the MD-95 badge until Boeing and McDonnell Douglas merged in 1997.

It was an immediate commercial success, and 976 were built by Douglas and then the merged McDonnell Douglas (MDC) before it was renamed MD-80 in 1983.
The MD-80 was developed into the MD-90 family which, after the takeover of MDC by Boeing in 1997, became the Boeing 717.

 DC-9.com The Douglas DC-9
When the DC-9 program launched on April 8, 1963, The Douglas Aircraft Company essentially "Bet the Company" on the success of the DC-9.
The DC-9 was devolved for a market that Douglas had seen the need for: a short-range jet capable of making multiple stops without refueling and with much lower operations cost than the piston powered aircraft currently serving the market.
The Douglas DC-9 was designed to operate efficiently, reliably and economically over short-range airline segments from 50 to 1,000 miles in length.

 Aerospaceweb.org | Aircraft Museum - Douglas DC-9
Douglas began development of the DC-9 in the late 1950s as a jet-powered short-range aircraft to complement its larger DC-8.
Although the DC-9 was the first American design to feature the rear-mounted twin podded engines common to the design family, Douglas borrowed the concept from the French Caravelle airliners.
Otherwise, the configuration was of a generally traditional layout with a tubular fuselage mated to a low-mounted swept wing.

Douglas announced the launch of the DC-9 program in April, 1963.
Airlines were happy with the ease of engine maintenance, plus designers approved of rear-mounted engines because the wings are free from engine clutter.
Unfortunately, the Douglas company was not as successful at financial management and after amalgamating with McDonnell, it was swallowed by its former rival Boeing.

Launched in response to a requirement for a large-capacity, medium-range airliner, the DC-10 and its three-engine layout was a logical step between the fuel efficiency of a twin, and the power offered by a four-engine design.
This title is a fitting tribute to the last of a long and famous line of aircraft to carry the McDonnell Douglas name.
McDonnell Douglas stretched the DC-9 fuselage, re-engined it, gave it a greater wingspan and other improvements, and first flew it (the DC-9-80) in October, 1979.

Commencing in the 1930s, Douglas Aircraft Company became one of the most influential developers of modern day air transport, starting with the famous DC-1 through DC-3 series.
One problem, for which author and publisher cannot be blamed, is that some of the early Douglas photos seem to have been taken on cheap film (or been processed with cheap chemicals/paper) and have color-shifted.
Most photos, however, are excellent due, no doubt, to the widespread use of Kodachrome among aviation photographers.

During a period spanning 19 years, 973 DC-9's were designed and built in four different lengths and five basic versions.
Continued aerodynamic and engine improvements allowed Douglas, later McDonnell Douglas - engineers to follow the tradition established with the DC-1 by building in stretch and increased performance potential at a minimal cost.
Ironically, the DC-9's meteoric sales success led to the company being forced to merge in 1967.
