The MD-83 airplane is powered by two aft-mounted turbofan
engines and is designed to provide efficient operation and reliable transportation of passengers and cargo. An integral passenger forward stairway and aft stairway facilitates passenger loading, unloading, and engine starting at airports equipped with minimal ground support equipment. External service points may be reached without use of ladders or stands, and cargo may be manually loaded from the ground without special equipment, resulting in an approximate turnaround time of 20 to 30 minutes.
