Aircraft Model (Name & Manufacturer)
McDonnell Douglas MD-11
Aircraft Category
D
Purpose or Role in Game
Nowadays used only in cargo, historically also used for long-haul passenger routes
Why should this aircraft be added?
A niche and interesting part of aviation history, that I feel would bring even more variety to the game, as well as its first trijet
Airlines that use it
Today FedEx, UPS and Western Global
Formerly also airlines like Delta, Swissair, China Eastern, VARIG, TAM, KLM,…
Special characteristics or variants
MD-11ER with extended range (7240 nm versus basic 6725 nm), MD-11F freighter, MD11-C and -CF combi and convertible freighter
Don’t really know but I think MD-11 should be cat D?
Even knowing that is very hard, but I do want to see many airlines historically used this aircraft to be available as normal contracts, such as Finnair(AY) and KLM(KL).
Yes, you’re both right, it is of course class D, thank you for correcting me.
And regarding the second part of Dreamliner’s post - we currently have many examples of aircraft not flying anymore with certain airline, but still available as regular contracts (Lufthansa’s A300, BA and AA’s B767, Delta’s B777, most of the B744s…), so I assume we could get some leeway here, too, and have Finnair, KLM or Lufthansa Cargo MD-11 contracts (if it eventually was to be added) .
