The McDonnell Douglas MD-87 was a shortened derivative of the MD-80 series, designed for shorter routes with reduced passenger capacity. With a length of 39.75 meters, wingspan of 32.86 meters, and height of 9.02 meters, the MD-87 was powered by two rear-mounted JT8D turbofan engines. Iberia operated these aircraft extensively on European routes during the 1980s and 1990s, providing efficient service on medium-density routes. The MD-87's distinctive features included its swept wings, rear-mounted engines, and the classic Douglas nose profile that made it instantly recognizable at airports across Europe.
