The Boeing 717 is a twinjet narrowbody commercial airliner originally created by the McDonnell Douglas Corporation as the MD-95, the successor to the MD-90. It was intended to replace aging DC-9s. It is essentially a DC-9 with new avionics, systems, and engines. The project was completed by Boeing when Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas and rebranded as the Boeing 717.

This is an accurate and complex recreation of the Boeing 717.
