Hi there!
Sorry if this has been brought up before, I didn't see any results for MD-90 under the search.
I was curious as to why the MD-90 has a lower range than the MD-80 it augments/replaces.
The Boeing page shows the following information:
Is this an intentional difference or is there info I'm missing? I know it's not exactly apples to apples with passengers:range but still seems odd. It just sounds to reason that the later released MD-90 would have an improved range over the MD-80s. Thoughts?
