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. The model was designed as a successor to the company's DC-8 for long-range operations, competing directly in the same markets as the A300, 747, and L-1011 Tristar. All major surface textures are 2K in greatest dimension, with color maps provided. Photoshop templates for each detail are available for download. 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 after the merger between Aircraft Corporation and Aircraft Company. It was 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. The 747 had commercial advantages due to its size, but smaller airports could not accommodate it because of gate restrictions and runway length. The DC-10 capitalized on this advantage. The DC-10 first flew 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. This was nearly a year before the L-1011 Tristar, which was built to a similar specification. The similarity in passenger capacity and simultaneous launch resulted in a head-to-head sales competition that affected profitability. The launch customers for the DC-10 were American Airlines with 25 orders for the Series 10 model and United Airlines with 60 orders. The DC-10 eventually distinguished itself from its competitors through a second engine supplier, which allowed for controlling costs due to competition and earlier introduction of longer range variants than the L-1011.
