Inflight DC-10-10 United Airlines Experimental Livery
1:200 Scale Limited Edition - 100 pieces only
The model is an aircraft that United Airlines used in the development and testing of the DC-10 before it went into service. This was SHIP 4 and was the 4th DC-10 made. While in development the aircraft wore the EXPERIMENTAL wording on the side by the doors and also had the McDonnell Douglas logo on the fuselage. Please note the slight change of color scheme which is on this aircraft as this was modified before entering service with United.
DC-10-10
The McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 was the initial production model of the DC-10 series, introduced in 1971 and optimized for domestic and medium-range routes. It was powered by three General Electric CF6-6D turbofan engines, each producing 40,000 lbf (178 kN) of thrust, providing excellent reliability and performance. The DC-10-10 typically seated 250 to 270 passengers in a two-class layout and had a maximum takeoff weight of 199,580 kg (440,000 lbs). With a range of approximately 6,100 km (3,300 nautical miles) and a cruising speed of 917 km/h (495 knots), it was primarily used by U.S. carriers such as American Airlines and United Airlines. Its spacious cabin and efficient design helped define the wide-body jet era of the 1970s.
