Boeing 717
Boeing Commercial Airplanes
About
The Boeing 717 is the last aeroplane of the DC-9 line. It was designed as the McDonnell Douglas MD-95, a shortened MD-90 for short thin routes, and was renamed when Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas in 1997 — every one of them was sold and delivered as a Boeing. It keeps the DC-9's rear-mounted engines and T-tail on a 37.81 m fuselage, seats 106 in two classes and is certified for 134, and it is the only Boeing airliner powered by Rolls-Royce BR715 engines. The cruise speed, cruise Mach, range, ceiling, climb rate and take-off distance are EUROCONTROL's figures for the B712 type code rather than a certificate's: a type certificate states limits and weights, not cruise performance, and the source does not distinguish sub-variants.
