McDonnell Douglas MD-82

The MD-82 is the MD-80 series model with heavier weights than the first MD-81, which Boeing's planning manual lists at 140,000 pounds. It shares the series' size, 147 ft 10 in long with a 107 ft 10 in wingspan, a T-tail and two engines on the rear fuselage. Boeing's planning manual gives it the same figures as the MD-88: a maximum take-off weight of 149,500 pounds, 22,129 liters of usable fuel, and Pratt & Whitney JT8D-217 or JT8D-217A engines in its range charts. It is certified for up to 172 passengers. A few still fly in US airspace.
