A successor to the dangerous DC-10. It wasn't nearly as scary but just as inefficient! Longer, heavier, and arguably uglier. Couldn't land as short as the DC-10 and was too thirsty for fuel to compete with the 777 or the A330. It had a big following in the aviation enthusiast world but struggled to find a home in any modern commercial airline. They didn't crash as much mostly because they didn't fly as much. Any airline that still has one is working desperately to get rid of it.

Get the MD-11 mug.An aircraft designed and produced by McDonnell Douglas. It is the successor to the DC-10, which cunts hate for killing people (even though it was other faults). Like the DC-10, it is a trijet. Due to this reason, the MD-11 fell out of passenger airline use as ETOPS became more favourable. However, cargo airlines use this plane due to how large it is and they're working to retire it because the profits are getting breaked even.

Get the MD-11 mug.A widebody tri-jet freighter developed by McDonnell Douglas Corporation, developed from the DC-10. The MD-11F can carry 21,530 cu.ft / 609.7 m³ inside of its fuselage. Most aircraft are converted from passenger versions due to the aircraft underperforming with range and fuel burn targets in passenger service. Around half of the MD-11's built are in service due to the low acquisition and high capacity for cargo airlines.
The MD-11F flew over us.
