![]() ![]() Advanced flight deck allowed 2-pilot operations compared to the 3 crewmembers required for earlier tri-jets.More cargo capability than any other aircraft in 1991.Aerodynamic enhancements included winglets, a new tail cone, streamlined pylon-engine joints and a smaller horizontal stabilizer containing fuel tanks that could be used to trim the aircraft.Engines designed to provide maximum efficiency in their thrust class with fuel burn reductions compared to other engines on wide-body, tri-engine jets in 1991.The Delta Flight Museum () notes the following as technical advances incorporated into the MD-11: Delta Airlines completed the inaugural U.S. Finnair took delivery of the first MD-11 on 7 December 1990 and complete the first revenue producing flight on 20 December 1990. The aircraft was FAA certified on 8 November 1990 and on 17 October 1991 it was certified by the JAA. (1992 Delta Airlines MD-11 passenger brochure). On 21 October of that year, it completed a four-leg, around the world, final test flight and set two point-to-point speed records while doing do. The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 program launched in 1986 and the aircraft flew for the first time out of Long Beach, California on 10 January 1990. Thus, in terms of modelling, PBR, and textures, I have a very good idea of what I’m looking for and although I am not a 3D artist by any stretch of the imagination. I have also developed a few of my own WED airports and have painted more than a few liveries. While flying these things is not my strong suit, I have been flying GA for many years and have flown over many different scenery packages. (Suffice it to say, they haven’t been pretty.) This is my first exposure to the widebody world of flying which is why this intrepid reviewer will not subject you, the reader, to his newbie exploits of attempting to fly the MD-11F. In an effort to “maintain transparency”, Paul, your guide for the external and internals of the MD-11F, is but a humble turboprop bush pilot. Paul will be your ground crew manager taking you on a tour of the physical model of the aircraft. Angelique is your Pilot in Command and will be covering all aspects of the MD-11’s flight characteristics from starting up to shutting down. This is a complex aircraft with many features and systems that necessitates a long review.īecause of this, is dedicating two of its reviewers, Angelique van Campen and Paul Beckwith, to fully cover all aspects of the Rotate McDonnell Douglas MD-11. The MD-11 has completed the long journey to release and is now available for X-Plane 11 in a cargo version with nine liveries and a white livery for livery painters. On May 26, 2017, Rotate posted news about the project that would be the follow up to their MD-80 model.

Whatever it is, we – Angelique van Campen and Paul Beckwith – try to do our best, and that’s the same for this Rotate McDonnell MD-11F. What those sections are, depends on the reviewer. When you’re familiar with X-Plained.Com reviews, you know that we not only try to write comprehensive reviews, we also want to add additional sections with in-depth information in it. ![]()
