Douglas DC-8 62

The DC-8 was one of the earliest jet powered commercial passenger aircraft. It was the embodiment of advanced aerodynamic structural concepts, as well as internal systems designed for maximum service reliability, operational convenience and passenger comfort.

The DC-8 was designed for improved power, payload and range capacities. There were passenger, freighter and covertible freighter versions produced, from the version 10 through the version 50 and then the 'Super' 60 series, which incorporated an extended fuselage, extra payload capacity, and long range aerodynamic and power plant improvements.
