The DC-9-50 series was an extended version of the DC-9-40, boasting an additional 8'2" to the center fuselage. This variant could carry up to 125 passengers and was powered by 2 Pratt and Whitney JT8D-15 or JT8D-17 engines, generating 16,000 or 16,500 pounds of thrust each. The first deliveries began in 1975, with Eastern Airlines receiving the initial model. This was the largest variant within the Douglas DC-9 aircraft family. A military version called the C-9-50 was built for the US armed forces. Post-merger, McDonnell Douglas Aircraft developed several variants of the DC-9-50 as the MD-80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90. The legacy continued with Boeing's development of the final variant, the Boeing 717, after acquiring McDonnell Douglas.
