About the Real DC-10-10

The McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 is a widebody, tri-jet aircraft that made its mark on the aviation industry in the early 1970s. With a range of approximately 3,800 nautical miles, the DC-10-10 was specifically designed for medium-haul flights, catering to the growing demand for air travel at that time. Known for its distinctive tri-jet configuration, with two engines mounted on the wings and a third at the base of the vertical stabilizer, the DC-10-10 became a popular choice among airlines due to its capacity, range, and reliability.

The DC-10-10's spacious widebody design accommodated up to 380 passengers in a typical two-class configuration, making it an ideal option for airlines seeking to maximize revenue on popular routes. Despite initial challenges, including a few high-profile accidents, the DC-10-10's design and performance were refined over time, and it eventually earned a solid reputation as a safe and reliable aircraft.

Throughout its production run, which lasted until the late 1980s, over 440 DC-10-10 aircraft were built, serving a variety of airlines worldwide, including Delta Airlines. The aircraft's legacy continues to live on, as many DC-10-10s were converted into cargo and tanker aircraft, remaining in operation well into the 21st century. With the "FSX Delta Airlines Douglas DC-10-10 CLS Repaint Pack," flight simulation enthusiasts can now relive the storied history of this iconic aircraft and appreciate its lasting impact on the aviation industry.
