McDonnell Douglas DC-10 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The model was a successor to the Douglas DC-8 for long-range operations, and competed in the same markets as the Airbus A300, Boeing 747 "jumbo jet", and the physically similar Lockheed L-1011 TriStar. The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a three-engined long-range airliner, with two engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer.

Planespotters encyclopedia - Douglas DC-10 / McDonnell Douglas MD-11 At the end of 1968, Douglas received the first orders for the DC-10-30, essentially the same aircraft as the -40, except it is has General Electric CF6 engines, like the other DC-10 models. The Douglas DC-10 was the first 3-engined widebody aircraft that hit the market. The last aircraft that were produced were freighters, and it is expected that most of the passenger MD-11s will be converted to freighters, too, over the next 5-10 years, as the airlines move to replace them with other types offering better range and economy. trolls.troll.no /ebakke/dc10.html   (860 words)

Articles - Lockheed L-1011 The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar was the third widebody passenger jet airliner to reach the marketplace, following the Boeing 747 "jumbo jet" and the Douglas DC-10. The main visible difference between the TriStar and DC-10 is in the middle/tail engine; the DC-10's engine is external for more power, while the TriStar's engine is integrated into the tail through an S-duct (similar to the Boeing 727) for improved quietness and stability. Airlines played Douglas and Lockheed off each other, driving the prices of both planes down, and the end result was Douglas' merger with McDonnell and Lockheed's departure from the commercial aircraft business. www.gaple.com /articles/Lockheed_L-1011   (1110 words)
