Mcdonnell Douglas Dc-10-30f
Manufacturer: MCDONNELL DOUGLAS
The McDonnell Douglas DC‑10 is an American wide‑body, low‑wing trijet designed to replace the DC‑8 on long‑range routes. It first flew on 29 August 1970 and entered service with American Airlines on 5 August 1971. The aircraft features a twin‑aisle cabin that typically seats 250‑380 passengers and is powered by three turbofan engines—two on the wings and a third on the tail. Its design aimed to combine the range of a 747 with the ability to use shorter runways.
