✈ Douglas designed and built the type at Long Beach, California. McDonnell Douglas continued production after the 1967 merger.
✈ The prototype first flew on 25 February 1965. Delta Air Lines launched commercial service later that same year.
✈ Manufacturers produced 137 Series 10 aircraft, including passenger, convertible, and freighter variants.
✈ Typical engines are two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-5 or JT8D-7 turbofans, each rated around 12,500–14,000 lbf of thrust.
✈ Maximum single-class seating is 90 passengers. Operators commonly fitted 80–90 seats for short-haul networks.
✈ A factory combi/freight option added a 136 × 81 in side cargo door and a reinforced floor, enabling quick passenger-to-cargo conversion.
