Did You Know?

The aircraft we know today as the Boeing 717 actually began life as a McDonnell Douglas design. Originally developed as the MD-95, it was intended as a smaller, modern successor within the long-running Douglas DC-9/MD-80 family.

When Boeing and McDonnell Douglas merged in 1997, the MD-95 program became part of Boeing. Rather than retaining the McDonnell Douglas designation, the aircraft was marketed as the Boeing 717, giving this relatively small twin-engine jetliner a unique place in the histories of both major American aircraft manufacturers.

The 717 was designed primarily for short- and medium-haul service where airlines needed frequent flights without the capacity of a larger mainline jet. Its rear-mounted engines and T-tail preserved the recognizable configuration inherited from the Douglas DC-9 family.

Delta Air Lines eventually became the world's largest Boeing 717 operator, building a substantial fleet of the type for domestic service. Aircraft such as N947AT helped connect major Delta hubs with regional and midsized markets, making the 717 a familiar sight at airports throughout the United States.

For collectors, the Boeing 717 represents something unusual: an aircraft whose development began under McDonnell Douglas but whose production identity ultimately carried the Boeing name.
