| | The '''McDonnell Douglas DC-10''' is a three-engine medium- to long-range widebody [[:Category:Airliners|airliner]], with two engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer. The model was a successor to the company's DC-8 for long-range operations, and competed in the same markets as the [[Airbus A300]], [[Boeing 747]], and [[Lockheed L-1011-500|Lockheed L-1011 Tristar]], which has a similar layout to the DC-10. |

| The DC-10 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a conventional tail unit with a single fin and rudder. It is powered by two turbofan engines mounted on underwing pylons and a third engine at the base of the vertical stabilizer. It has a retractable tricycle landing gear. The later series 30 and 40 have an additional two-wheel main landing gear on the centerline of the fuselage. It was designed to be a medium to long-range airliner with a widebody fuselage to seat over 250 passengers. It is operated by a flight-crew of three located on the flightdeck in the nose on the same level as the passenger cabin. The fuselage has underfloor stowage for cargo and baggage. | | The DC-10 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a conventional tail unit with a single fin and rudder.
