McDonnell Douglas
MD-11
McDonnell Douglas tried to stay in
the airliner market by improving their DC-10. The MD-11 has a stretched
fuselage, additional winglets and a smaller horizontal stabilizer. Less successful
than its predecessor the MD-11 reached a production total of only 200.
Not only because of its size this
plane is easy to fly. Being originally a three-engine aircraft the modelplane
can easily be powered by a single turbine in the vertical stabilizer.
