This is my challenge entry.
INFO (IRL)
The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a three-engine wide-body jet airliner manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. The DC-10 has range for medium- to long-haul flights, capable of carrying a maximum of 380 passengers. Its most distinguishing feature is the two turbofan engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer. The model was a successor to McDonnell Douglas's DC-8 for long-range operations, and competed in the same markets as the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, which has a similar layout. The DC-10 had a poor safety record initially that was continuously improved over the years.Production of the DC-10 ended in 1989 with 386 delivered to airlines and 60 to the U.S. Air Force as air-to-air refueling tankers, designated KC-10 Extender.[2] The largest operator of the DC-10 is U.S. cargo airline FedEx Express. The DC-10 was succeeded by the related McDonnell Douglas MD-11. Boeing, which merged with McDonnell Douglas in 1997, conducted an upgrade program that equipped many in-service DC-10s with a glass cockpit that eliminated the flight engineer position; the upgraded aircraft were re-designated as MD-10s. The DC-10's last commercial passenger flight took place in February 2014, although freighter versions continue to operate.
INFO (SP)
In irl, it has a max speed of 610 mph/ 982 kmph. In simple planes, it has around the same speed, except if you detatch the gears (1) it can go over 700 mph/ 1126 kmph. Detatching the big thrusters (6) will make the flight bad. Also if you look inside it contains a modded engine (credit to @Hypnotoad for the engines)

    @Rohan ty! Have you noticed that only 3 big thrusters make this 34.5k LB go over 800 Mph? Well if you want to know how, you need to look inside and find the modded Medium thruster.
