McDonnell Douglas DC-9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. 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. 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Douglas_DC-9

DC-9.com The Douglas DC-9 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. 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. 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. www.dc-9.com

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. A much larger and re-engined variant, known as the DC-9 Super 80, appeared in the early 1980s but was redesignated the MD-80 following the merger of Douglas with McDonnell. www.aerospaceweb.org /aircraft/jetliner/dc9/index.shtml

The DC-9-40, first flown Nov. 28, 1967, was 6 feet longer than the -30 and could hold 125 passengers, and the DC-9-50, which first flew in 1974, was 12 feet longer and had the "new-look" interior patterned after the wide-cabin DC-10. www.boeing.com /history/mdc/dc-9.htm

Douglas DC 9 The DC 9 was the first American aircraft with twin jet engines at the rear; it was designed at a time when its nearest rival, the BAC One­-eleven was already being studied. The DC 9, series 30, is able to carry 115 passengers for medium haul fights.

McDonnell Douglas DC-9 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. The MD-80 was born in the late 1970s as a development of the DC-9. 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. smartweb2000.com /Car-Books/index841.html   (1203 words)

Planespotters encyclopedia - McDonnell-Douglas DC-9 The ever increasing demand for capacity lead the Douglas company to develop a further strech of the DC-9, dubbed the -40 series. When the airlines still wanted greater capacity, the McDonnell Douglas company started all over, with a new type, the MD-80 series. Telling the difference between the -10 and -20 series can be very difficult without a lot of practice. trolls.troll.no /ebakke/dc9.html   (1203 words)

ch13-4 Many studies were made over the years in an effort to find a replacement for the ubiquitous Douglas DC-3; though with different range and payload characteristics, and with different field length and cruising speed capabilities, the 727 may be considered as the modern-day counterpart of the DC-3 that first appeared in 1935. The twin-engine Boeing 737 was developed as a direct competitor of the McDonnell Douglas DC-9 but did not fly until about 2 years after the latter's introduction. The twin-engine McDonnell Douglas DC-9, in its many versions, generally has a smaller passenger capacity, shorter range, and shorter field length capability than the Boeing 727. www.hq.nasa.gov /office/pao/History/SP-468/ch13-4.htm   (2874 words)

Airlines Remembered Douglas DC-3s and DC-4s were used in the immediate post-war period, but were replaced by Convair CV340s in 1954 (when the Dutch Colonies were given the full status of provinces of the Netherlands. The Convair CV340s were replaced by, initailly Fokker F.27s, but in 1971 these were again replaced by Douglas DC-9s so at that point ALM had an all-jets fleet.
