The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a three-engine widebody jet airliner manufactured by McDonnell Dougals. The DC-10 has range for medium-to long-haul flights, capable of carrying a maximum 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 Lockeed L-1011 Tristar, which has a similar layout to the DC-10.
Production of the DC-10 ended in 1989 with 386 delivered to airlines and 60 to the USAF as air-to-air refueling tankers, designated the KC-10 Extender . The largest operator of the DC-10 is US cargo airline Fed Ex Express.
