Douglas DC-9-10

The DC-9-10 is the original, shortest DC-9, about 104 ft 5 in long with an 89 ft 5 in wingspan and room for up to 90 passengers. Boeing's planning manual describes its DC-9-15 version as taking off at up to 90,700 pounds with 13,979 liters of usable fuel, and it was also built as the DC-9-15F with a large cargo door. Like every DC-9 it has two Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofans on the rear fuselage under a T-tail, and its fuselage is 11 feet wide. A few of these early jets still fly in US airspace.
