Technical Notes Description The DC-10 is an American three-engine medium- to long-range widebody airliner with two engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer. As a successor to the company's DC-8, it was designed for long-range operations and competed directly in the same markets as the A300, 747, and L-1011 Tristar. Texture All major surface textures are 2048 pixels in greatest dimension. Airlines represented include Air China, ATA, Bangladesh, NWA, Arrow, Avient, Centurion, Federal Express, Omni Air, Electra Airlines, Cargo Italia, MTA, US Air Force, and Varig Log. Color maps and detailed textures are provided. History Production of the DC-10 ended in December 1988 with a total of 386 delivered to airlines and 60 to the U.S. Air Force as air-to-air refueling tankers, designated the KC-10 Extender. The DC-10 was succeeded by the related MD-11, which entered service in 1990. The design of the DC-10 began in 1967, marking its first commercial airliner after the merger between two major aircraft corporations. Built to a specification from American Airlines for a widebody aircraft smaller than the 747 but capable of flying similar long-range routes from airports with shorter runways, it capitalized on the limitations of the 747's size. The DC-10 made its maiden flight on August 29, 1970 and entered commercial service with launch customer American Airlines on August 5, 1971 on a round trip flight between Los Angeles and Chicago. Nearly a year before the L-1011 Tristar, it launched into operation. The similarity to the L-1011 in terms of passenger capacity and simultaneous launch resulted in a head-to-head sales competition that affected the profitability of the aircraft. Textures Detailed textures are provided, including diffuse maps. Maximum dimensions of textures are 2048 pixels.
