If you have heard of the DC-10 Twin, then you might ask a deceptively simple question: why did McDonnell Douglas create the DC-10 with three engines, rather than a more efficient two-engine layout? At first glance, adding a third engine seems unnecessarily complex, particularly as modern long-haul airliners now thrive with only two. Yet this solution was very difficult to implement back in the 1960s for several reasons. It reflected the technological limitations, regulatory climate, and market demands of that era. Understanding why the DC-10 was conceived as a trijet helps illuminate the transition between the early jet age of…

Today’s aviation industry is dominated by advanced narrowbodies and widebodies. Both Boeing and Airbus are constantly working to improve efficiency, performance, and reliability. They indeed push the limits of what their aircraft can achieve, but the drive to innovate is not new. Decades ago, early manufacturers were also taking on these challenges and producing aircraft that shaped the industry. McDonnell Douglas was one of those manufacturers. It introduced the MD-11, a tri-jet widebody from the 1990s that marked a bold step forward. It featured quieter engines, a long transoceanic range, and a more modern cabin design than its predecessor, the…
