MD-11

525 SP7472  3 months ago

This plane actually took me two and a half days in total. Due to being very busy recently, it took a long time to release. Thanks for the https://www.simpleplanes.com/u/520jtyddb landing gear support! Here are some precautions and instructions:
AG1: Landing lights
AG2: Navigation lights
AG3: Reverse jet
AG5: Autonomous driving
This aircraft is the same as the previous 747-8i. The descent rate will be too high, so please maintain a thrust of over 40% during landing. Have fun

The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 is a wide body passenger aircraft produced by McDonnell Douglas, designed based on the DC-10 aircraft but with multiple improvements and optimizations. This aircraft model made its maiden flight in 1989, was put into service on air routes in 1990, and was discontinued in 2001. The MD-11 adopts a three engine turbofan engine, with a longer fuselage and wingspan than the DC-10. Small wings are added at both ends of the wings, and the wing section design has been improved to enhance flight efficiency and safety. MD-11 uses more composite materials, fully digitizes cockpit equipment, and provides new engines for buyers to choose from. After discontinuation, many MD-11s were used for freight services, and retired passenger planes were also converted into cargo planes.

The main models of MD-11 include basic type, mixed passenger and freight type, and all cargo type, with a maximum passenger capacity of 410 people and a maximum range of 12270 kilometers. This model used the DC-10 production line during the production process, but underwent modifications to improve automation and productivity. The production tooling of MD-11 only needs to be replaced by 20% to be suitable for MD-11, so the production progress is faster and the cost is lower.

During its 20-year operation, MD-11 has experienced several plane crashes, and some aviation experts believe that there were some uncontrollable aspects during landing. However, MD-11 still has a wide range of applications in the freight field, such as FedEx, EVA Air, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and many other companies using this aircraft for cargo transportation.
