Never as good as its competitors and wasn’t very competitive. My grandpa worked at Douglas in 1934 then MD until 1992. They couldn’t really ever reach new markets in the 70s until the end. Every MD client was a customer from its start or from the jet age. VARIG of Brasil was one client my grandpa worked with directly.

It's a fine airplane. Many of the DC-10s crashes weren't the airplanes fault, but rather improper maintenance. Ground crew checking their work and improper production of spares by secondary contractors, not MD. There were some flaws. Every airplane has them, but they were fixed. And before you hate on the DC-10/MD-11, I'll bet more than one occasion, an MD-11 has gotten that Amazon order to you.

The MD-11 could've been just as successful as the Boeing 747-400 was however McDoodle Air failed to design a wing applicable to a stretched DC-10 which is really what the aircraft was. They just added a modern cockpit and winglets really. The 747-400 was better executed as a new gen 747 than the DC-10.
@coconutdreams1238 Жыл бұрын
There were plans to cooperate with Airbus and built the AM-300, basically an MD-11 fuselage with a330/a340 wings. Unfortunately, those wings were to big for the McDonnellDouglas's factory.

As I have understood, the biggest problems of MD-11 were it's old fashion wing desing (from DC-10) and three engine layout. McDonnell Douglas calculated at the late 1980's that it would be pointless to design a whole new wing because Jet-A1 were so cheap.
