The small, speedy and efficient DC-9 was one of the longest-produced jetliners of all time, with a production run spanning 41 years. Douglas' design continues to be updated and produced in the 21st century as the Comac ARJ21.

The design of the DC-9 was completely new, with T-tail and rear mounted engines. The aircraft could serve smaller airports which large jetliners like the Boeing 707 couldn't. Over 2500 DC-9s, including the later MD-80, MD-90 and 717 models, were built.
