The DC-9 aircraft is a medium-sized, short range, narrow body, twin engine turbofan airliner developed by Douglas Aircraft Company (later merged into McDonnell Douglas Company) in the 1960s.At that time, the civil aviation market needed a low-noise medium-sized passenger aircraft to meet the demand suitable for small airports and short to medium haul routes. The biggest feature of the DC-9 shape is that a turbofan is installed on both sides of the tail of the fuselage, and the vertical tail and horizontal tail are T-shaped. The main market competitor of DC-9 is Boeing 737.
