Douglas DC-8

The Douglas DC-8 is an American four-engine, mid- to long-range narrow-body jet airliner. The first flight occurred on May 30, 1958, and it entered service with Delta Air Lines and United Airlines on September 18, 1959. Production of the DC-8 concluded in 1972, with 556 airframes completed. In 1967, Douglas merged with McDonnell Aircraft Corporation to form McDonnell Douglas.

On August 21, 1961, a Douglas DC-8 became the first commercial aircraft to break the sound barrier while in a controlled dive.

The early variants of the DC-8 models shared the same airframe but varied in engine configurations and capabilities. Later variants included the

  • Super 60 series: which included stretched versions, had its first flight on March 14, 1966.
  • Super 63 series: was the final production variant, with the last airframe delivered in May 1972.
  • Super 70 series: consists of re-engined versions of the Super 60s, featuring CFM56 high-bypass turbofan engines; it first flew in August 1981.

The flight crew typically consists of two pilots and a flight engineer. Depending on the variant, the passenger cabin can accommodate between 117 and 259 passengers in a six-abreast seating configuration.

The DC-8-50 series is powered by four Pratt & Whitney JT3D low-bypass turbofan engines, two mounted under each wing on pylons.
