Aircraft Data for: McDonnell Douglas DC-10 30

Updated: Nov. 28th 2008

Summary

The DC-10 is a three engined medium to long range widebody airliner. It was the first of the tri-motor airliners, and was built from 1970 to 1988. After some early crashes the DC-10 settled down to be a very reliable workhorse, built in many variants.

The DC10-30 was the main long range version of the type, it had true intercontinental range, thanks to its more powerful engines, additional fuel tanks, and a third main undercarriage leg to take the extra weight.
