The McDonnell Douglas MD-94X was a planned propfan-powered airliner announced in January 1986, intended to begin production in 1994 and to seat between 160 and 180 passengers, possibly in a twin-aisle layout. It was an all-new design similar in configuration to the MD-80 and was developed to compete with the Boeing 7J7, with canard noseplanes, boundary layer control, fibre-optic side-stick flight controls and aluminium-lithium construction under consideration. McDonnell Douglas said it would build the aircraft only if oil cost at least 1.40 US dollars a gallon, and airline interest in propfans stayed weak. The company announced on 10 October 1989 that it was abandoning propfan-powered aircraft, and related studies such as the MD-91X, the MD-92X and the P-9D anti-submarine proposal ended with it.
