This high-quality model is nearly to scale and has an accuracy of just a couple percent compared to its real dimensions. It boasts intricate exterior details, including radio antennas and pitot tubes, as well as finished landing gear with moderate detailing. The model includes textures and materials, and features animatable parts such as ailerons, flaps, elevators, rudder, landing gear, landing gear doors, and turbines for use in flight simulations or animations. Suitable for airport scenes, the model comes in various formats and is based on the Boeing s variant of the McDonnell Douglas MD-95 jet commercial airliners produced after Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas. The 717-200 had a smaller capacity, accommodating 106 to 134 passengers, with a maximum of 134 based on passenger exit capability. The standard version offered a range of 1,430 nautical miles, while the high gross weight variant boasted an extended range of 2,060 nautical miles thanks to two auxiliary tanks. However, competition from Embraer and Bombardier Regional Jets led to reduced sales, which ultimately caused the cancellation of many orders and closed production in 2006. The Boeing 717-200 was powered by a pair of 20,000 lbf or 21,000 lbf thrust JT8D-217C or JT8D-219 engines and marked the end of narrow single-aisle jetliner production by Boeing.
