Douglas DC-8
The Douglas DC-8 is an American four-engine mid to long-range narrow-body monoplane jet airliner. It first flew on May 30, 1958, entering service on September 18, 1959, with Delta Air Lines and United Airlines. On August 21, 1961, a Douglas DC-8 became the first commercial aircraft to break the sound barrier while in a controlled dive.
Early models used the same airframe and differed only in engines and capability. The Super 60 series, stretched developments, first flew on March 14 1966. The Super 63 was the final production variant, with the last airframe delivered in May 1972. The Super 70s are Super 60s re-engined with CFM56 high bypass turbofans and first flew in August 1981. Production of the DC-8 ended in 1972 with 556 airframes completed. Douglas and McDonnell Aircraft Corporation merged in 1967 to form McDonnell Douglas.
The flight crew consists of two pilots and a flight engineer, and the passenger cabin seats 117 to 259 six-abreast depending on the variant. The DC-8-50 series uses four Pratt & Whitney JT3D low-bypass turbofan engines, pylon mounted, two under each wing.
