The McDonnell Douglas DC-9: Short documentary
401The McDonnell Douglas DC-9 was a pioneering narrowbody airliner that brought pure jet comfort and convenience to shorter routes and smaller communities worldwide. With its rear-mounted engines, clean wing design, and spacious single-aisle cabin, the DC-9 delivered a superior passenger experience on regional flights starting in the mid-1960s. Its versatile performance opened up shorter and less trafficked routes to reliable jet service, accelerating the switchover from propeller aircraft across the airline industry. Known for its elegant aesthetics, ruggedness, and reliability over decades of intensive use, the DC-9 family helped democratize regional jet travel and catalyze the postwar aviation boom.
