Boeing 717-200
The Boeing 717-200 is a design variation/successor of the McDonnell Douglas MD-80/90 line of aircraft, which itself is a successor of the Douglas DC-9. With it's iconic rear mounted engines and 'T' shaped tail, the 717 is the last of such a design for narrow-body airliners. This design is now only still seen in regional airliners carrying much less passengers. The 717-200 is the only variant in the 717 family. The 717-200 is no longer being produced but still currently flies with a few airlines, namely Delta Air Lines. It is well suited for a short to medium range flights and can carrying 100-120 passengers on average. The 717, being an older design, is currently being favoured for more fuel-efficient aircraft.
