McDonnell Douglas MD-90

The MD-90 was the last and longest development of the DC-9 and MD-80 line, a midsized, medium-range twinjet built on the same assembly line as the MD-80 in Long Beach, California. It kept the rear-mounted engines and T-tail but replaced the MD-80's Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines with quieter International Aero Engines V2500 turbofans, and its flight deck added an electronic flight instrument system and a full flight management system. It first flew on February 22, 1993, was first delivered in February 1995 and entered service two months later. Two versions entered production, and 116 were delivered between 1995 and 2000.
