A great bird. I had the good luck to fly it for 12 years in my 40 year pilot career.

MD11 junto com os 07, 27,47, 67, 77, são aeronaves fantásticas. Maravilhas da engenharia aeronáutica!

classic video! Love the channel guys! This is great!

Looking forward to flying the soon to be released Microsoft flight simulator version. Love these airliners.

Such a shame that MD11 is quitting the aviation stage. It could have been in service if they put more fuel efficient and cleaner engines on it.

I know this is old but, why would they do anything wi0th the MD-11? The company doesn't even exist anymore and hasn't for quite a while. Boeing bought them out, as a favor, when they were in bankruptcy.

+BewareTheIdes I believe Boeing bought them out to be able to continue selling their highly successful military jets such as the C-17 and the F/A-18 hornet so as to make money instead of letting their military rival, Lockheed gain any advantage.

As I have understood, the biggest problems of MD-11 were it's old fashion wing desing (from DC-10) and three engine layout. McDonnell Douglas calculated at the late 1980's that it would be pointless to design a whole new wing because Jet-A1 were so cheap.

e uma grande pena por não darem continuidade a essas Aeronaves! Hoje só de Carga são usados por muitas companhias Aéreas Parabéns.

Love the video!

Compared to the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, the DC-10/MD-11 is a stove-pipe with wings.

It's a fine airplane. Many of the DC-10s crashes weren't the airplanes fault, but rather improper maintenance. Ground crew checking their work and improper production of spares by secondary contractors, not MD. There were some flaws. Every airplane has them, but they were fixed. And before you hate on the DC-10/MD-11, I'll bet more than one occasion, an MD-11 has gotten that Amazon order to you.

@@originalpadoru It's hardly a "DC-11". The MD-11 has multiple differences over the DC-10. So much so that it flies under its own type certificate. So, no....it's not a DC-11.

I assume this video was intended for airlines/pilots?

dat after-body drag 😮😮😮

The mistake of MD-11 was the engine on tail. Being a two engine aircraft would not prevent to reach the range goals.

Have only found the Cargo variant of the Rotate MD11 so far, is there a PAX version too?

The MD-11 could've been just as successful as the Boeing 747-400 was however McDoodle Air failed to design a wing applicable to a stretched DC-10 which is really what the aircraft was. They just added a modern cockpit and winglets really. The 747-400 was better executed as a new gen 747 than the DC-10.

There were plans to cooperate with Airbus and built the AM-300, basically an MD-11 fuselage with a330/a340 wings. Unfortunately, those wings were to big for the McDonnellDouglas's factory.
