Overview
The McDonnell Douglas MD-90 is a retired American five-abreast single-aisle airliner developed by McDonnell Douglas from the earlier MD-80. The airliner was produced by the developer company until 1997 and then by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. It was a stretched derivative of the MD-80 and thus part of the DC-9 family.
After the more fuel-efficient IAE V2500 high-bypass turbofan was selected, Delta Air Lines became the launch customer on November 14, 1989.
The MD-90 first flew on February 22, 1993, and the first delivery was in February 1995 to Delta.
