Seen here are purely MD-11F aircraft taking off with their powerful GE CF6-80C2 or PW4000 turbofans, man what a sound!
The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 is an American wide-body airliner manufactured by McDonnell Douglas.
It has three engines, two under the wing and one in the tail of the aircraft. Making it a distinct aircraft. The MD-11 is an updated version of the older DC-10, it retains the basic trijet configuration of the DC-10 with updated GE CF6-80C2 or PW4000 turbofans. It has a slightly wider wing with winglets and its maximum take off weight was increased by 14% to 630,500 lb (286 tons). Its fuselage is stretched by 11% to 202 ft (61.6 m) to accommodate 298 passengers in three classes over a range of up to 7,130 nmi (13,200 km). It features a glass cockpit that eliminated the need for a flight engineer.
Unfortunately it failed to meet its range and fuel burn targets. The last of 200 aircraft was built in October 2000 after Boeing merged with MDC in 1997. While some were initially built as freighters, many were also converted and are in service with cargo airlines.
As of July 2019, the worldwide fleet of MD-11s totals 118 aircraft in commercial service with cargo operators FedEx Express (55), UPS Airlines (37), Lufthansa Cargo (12), Western Global Airlines (11) and other operators with fewer aircraft.
Most of the airlines who ordered the MD-11 for their long-haul passenger flights had replaced it with Airbus A330, A340, and Boeing 777 aircraft by the end of 2004. Sad to see them go, so the more reason to make a special video of it. ENJOY!! ⇊ For more info & Aircraft shortcuts⇊
