I love the MD-11. It requires so much overtime to keep flying that it's going to fund my kids' college education.

I fully understand the reality of the situation but i'm still sad that the old trijets are going the way of the dinosaurs. MD11, DC10, 727, L1011, all some of the most beautiful planes ever made. the skies ain't the same without 'em.
@muhammadabdullah032 жыл бұрын
Because now, there are more advanced aircrafts, in fact, the 3 engined jets like the MD 111 and the Boeing 727 have involved in multiple accidents due to the lack of redundancy or back up systems. The stick shaker ( only the captain has one and the First Officer/co pilot DOESN'T HAVE ONE in the DC 10, where as the Boeing 777 has 2 stickshakers and they have backup systems...

The MD11 market at cargo is pretty unique, no aircraft on the current state has the characteristics of the MD11, so it might has the possibility to go beyond 2030. But Boeing actually is aware of this so there might be a successor coming but not at this moment.

Damn FedEx isn't messing around. Overhauled wing main gear and nose gear. Looks like some of the gear doors were just put on and a few new wheels on the mains? It's cool to see how new the landing gear looks on a plane of its age.

15 seconds on the rare occasion that it worked, usually much longer. At least according to my mom, a former C-5 aircraft commander, the gear was infamous for malfunctioning.

i think the gear mechanism is directly attached to the doors whereas lots of other planes‘ are separated

No it doesn't sound like it. The 737 has two different models of pump. On sounds similar, but slightly different than the 757 and the other sounds very different. It is FedEx too so it wouldn't be a 737.

Do you know or you think you know? AC hydraulic system pressure is supplied by a cart NOT by AC electro/hydraulic pumps. Do you see two hydraulic hoses connected to the AC, one is pressure the other is return and you can even spot the cart in the distance. So what are you talking about??? Really!?

why does the md-11 wing landing gear doesnt tilt?
@ItsKibet5 жыл бұрын
They do tilt, Watch this video.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ-QeKiJhMqemZY. At 2:12 you can see the fuselage is angled up while the gear is flat on the ground,then you see the gear tilt once the a.c has lifted. Each a.c is different. the 777 will straighten the gear prior to storing in the wheel well (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWXFhYOna9aBitU) same with the A330, it retracts and straightens into the bay (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5DdXn54ib-FjM0). It is all mainly for storage.
