McDonnell Douglas MD-11
The MD-11 is a three-engine wide-body airliner developed from the DC-10 and built at Long Beach, California. It is 18.6 feet longer than the DC-10 and has winglets, a reworked wing trailing edge, a smaller tailplane that holds fuel and a longer tailcone, all meant to cut drag. It first flew on January 10, 1990, and deliveries ran from 1991 to 2001. McDonnell Douglas offered passenger, freighter, convertible freighter and combi versions, each with an extended-range option. After the Boeing merger, production ended in 2000 with 200 built.
