The (real) MD-11 Commercial Transport

(from http://www.boeing.com/commercial/md-11family/)

"The MD-11, the world's only modern large, wide-cabin trijet, offers a highly sophisticated flight deck and advanced automatic system controls that substantially reduces pilot workload. In service with customers in all parts of the world, the MD-11 was produced in Long Beach, California, at the Douglas Products Division of the Boeing Commercial Airplanes until February 2001. A worldwide network of subcontractors and suppliers supported the assembly line.


The MD-11 was available in four models -- passenger, all freighter, convertible freighter and "combi," where passengers and freight are carried on the main deck with additional freight carried below the deck. An extended-range (ER) feature was available on all versions.


Seating capacities on the standard airplane vary from 285 in a three-class arrangement to 410 in an all-economy configuration. Below the main deck, the MD-11 provides more space for containerized or palletized cargo after passenger bags are loaded than any other jetliner, yielding important additional revenue for its operators......"


 

This aircraft is in the early design and flight test phase. The (new) MD-80 DFGC will be used as a foundation for the MD-11's advanced autopilot system.

The flight test version (demo) is available, although currently the aircraft is missing wing and stabilizer textures. A default X-Plane® panel is supplied for testing purposes.

Rollout for this aircraft is currently on HOLD.
