href="/wiki/Airliner" title="Airliner">airliner</a> manufactured by <a href="/wiki/Douglas_Aircraft_Company" title="Douglas Aircraft Company">Douglas Aircraft Company</a>, which had a lasting effect on the <a href="/wiki/Airline" title="Airline">airline</a> industry in the 1930s to 1940s and <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>. It was developed as a larger, improved 14-bed sleeper version of the <a href="/wiki/Douglas_DC-2" title="Douglas DC-2">Douglas DC-2</a>. It is a <a href="/wiki/Low-wing" class="mw-redirect" title="Low-wing">low-wing</a> metal monoplane with <a href="/wiki/Conventional_landing_gear" title="Conventional landing gear">conventional landing gear</a>, powered by two radial piston engines of 1,000–1,200 hp (750–890 kW). Although the DC-3s originally built for civil service had the <a href="/wiki/Wright_R-1820_Cyclone" title="Wright R-1820 Cyclone">Wright R-1820 Cyclone</a>, later civilian DC-3s used the <a href="/wiki/Pratt_%26_Whitney_R-1830_Twin_Wasp" title="Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp">Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp</a> engine.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The DC-3 has a cruising speed of 207 mph (333 km/h), a capacity of 21 to 32 passengers or 6,000 lbs (2,700 kg) of cargo, and a range of 1,500 mi (2,400 km), and can operate from short runways. </p><p>The DC-3 had many exceptional qualities compared to previous aircraft. It was fast, had a good range, was more reliable, and carried passengers in greater comfort. Before the World War II, it pioneered many air travel routes. It was able to cross the <a href="/wiki/Continental_United_States" class="mw-redirect" title="Continental United States">continental United States</a> from New York to Los Angeles in 18 hours, with only three stops. It is one of the first airliners that could profitably carry only passengers without relying on mail subsidies.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1939, at the peak of its dominance in the airliner market, around ninety percent of airline flights on the planet were by a DC-3 or some variant.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Following the war, the airliner market was flooded with surplus transport aircraft, and the DC-3 was no longer competitive because it was smaller and slower than aircraft built during the war. It was made obsolete on main routes by more advanced types such as the <a href="/wiki/Douglas_DC-4" title="Douglas DC-4">Douglas DC-4</a> and <a href="/wiki/Convair_240" class="mw-redirect" title="Convair 240">Convair 240</a>, but the design proved adaptable and was still useful on less commercially demanding routes. </p><p>Civilian DC-3 production ended in 1943 at 607 aircraft. Military versions, including the <a href="/wiki/Douglas_C-47_Skytrain" title="Douglas C-47 Skytrain">C-47 Skytrain</a> (the Dakota in British <a href="/wiki/Royal_Air_Force" title="Royal Air Force">RAF</a> service), and Soviet- and Japanese-built versions, brought total production to over 16,000.
