@@MrFloppy131 Still a part of the Dog family regardless if Boeing bought out McDonnell Douglas. This was a McDonnell Douglas MD95, first cousin the the MD80/DC9 family before Boeing bought them out. Therefore, I consider the 717 the Mini Mad Dog.

0:10 On the whole, why were U.S. manufactured commercial airliners, and particularly Boeings, built relatively low to the ground? Douglas and Lockheed's 3-hole widebodies bucked this trend by the early 1970s, but Airbus and I guess Ilyushin(Il-86) were always thinking of the future with fuselages positioned from 2-4m higher above the tarmac than most American models. It wasn't until 1980, when Boeing introduced its 'glass cockpit' trio - the 75, 76, and 77, that we saw a trend of higher riding platforms, with room sufficient for new engine upgrades.

Good question. I think it is for ease of service so you don’t have to get as high to service or even fuel the aircraft. Idk if that’s the real answer or not but that’s my guess
