The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a three-engine wide-body jet airliner manufactured by McDonnell.
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 under wing 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 to the DC-10.
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 refuelling tankers, designated KC-10 Extender.
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 the 1990's, conducted an upgrade program for DC-10s, equipping several with a glass cockpit, leading to their re-designation as MD-10s.
The DC-10's last commercial passenger flight took place in February 2014.
