The Boeing 717 is a twin-engine, single-aisle jet airliner, developed for the 100-seat market. The airliner was designed and originally marketed by McDonnell Douglas as the MD-95, a derivative of the DC-9 family. Growing up I remember seeing these in the Air Tran colors before Southwest bought them up. This model has been stuck in development for over a month. I've started flight training in Pensacola, FL and have been swamped with studying and test preparation. As such, this model was shelved for some time, but I've finally finished it and made it available for you. If you see any issues or have any comments let me know!

About the author:
Navy876
I am a commercial pilot, and Purdue University graduate training for Naval Aviation in Pensacola, FL. I fell in love with 3D printing my junior year of college and have been exploring the limits of the technology as part of my research at school. While that has come to a conclusion, the hobby of making model airplanes for my office continues to grow. I take requests, but my obligations to the Navy limit my focus to keeping this a hobby. However, I was recently contacted by Microsoft who looked to gain some insight into why I make these models, where I upload them and for what reasons do I upload them. This made me consider expanding outside Thingiverse, where I first uploaded my aircraft. Enlarging my audience will enable me a faster turnaround from uploading to feedback and criticism from the community. I also hope that this will enable me to generate some sort of revenue in the form of tips or compensated publicity, which I can then use to purchase my own designs since I do not have access to a printer of my own. I try to produce an aircraft every two weeks or so. I build any model aircraft I can get dimensions and blueprints on. Have an aircraft you've seen and would like for yourself? Have advice or a need for advice on modeling a plane for yourself? Send me a message and I'll be happy to work with you when I have the time available. Cheers!
