The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) occupies a late-model derivative position within the DC-9/MD-80 family, offering transcontinental short- and medium-range capability with a typical two-engine layout and seating in the mid-150s. Its Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 powerplants, rated at 21,000 lbf each, are a defining technical characteristic that factors into operational economics and maintenance planning. With a cruise speed of 438 kts and a 2,500 nm range, the type competes historically against similarly sized narrowbodies for legacy short-to-medium-haul routes; resale and fleet-management decisions commonly reference seating density, range, and engine type as primary considerations.
