The McDonnell Douglas MD-90 was the final and largest member of the DC-9 family, representing an ambitious attempt to compete in the 150-seat narrow-body market of the 1990s. First flown on February 22, 1993, it was a low-wing twin-engine airliner powered by high-bypass turbofan engines that could seat 153 passengers in mixed configuration. Stretching 57 inches longer than its MD-80 predecessor with a range of 2,455 nautical miles, it was manufactured by McDonnell Douglas at Long Beach, California.
