DC-9-10

Douglas · USA

A twin-engine, T-tail design that was incredibly easy to maintain. Its built-in "airstairs" meant it didn't need fancy airport equipment to load passengers, making it the king of the developing world's air routes.

Legacy Fact: The DC-9 family evolved into the MD-80 and Boeing 717, staying in production for 41 years.
