DC-9 INDEX-ADRIA AIR(YU-AJR)

540 FlightClipper  23 hours ago

The DC-9 was developed in 1962 by Douglas Aircraft Company (which later merged into McDonnell Douglas) as a twin-engine turbofan medium- and short-range narrow-body civil airliner. At that time, the civil aviation market required a low-noise medium-sized passenger aircraft to meet the needs of small airports and short- and medium-haul routes. The most distinctive feature of the DC-9 is that it has a turbofan engine mounted on each side at the rear of the fuselage, along with a T-shaped vertical tail and horizontal stabilizers. The DC-9 competes in the market against Boeing's 737.

The landing speed is usually less than 130 knots, and the takeoff speed is usually less than 125 knots.

This DC-9 passenger plane was destroyed in the Zagreb air disaster in Yugoslavia in 1976 due to improper commands by air traffic controllers, resulting in a collision between the DC-9, which was operating flight number Inex-Adria Airlines 550 (JP550), and another Trident 3B aircraft belonging to British European Airways on the same day, with no survivors among the 176 people.
