aircraft</a> manufactured by <a href="/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas" title="McDonnell Douglas">McDonnell Douglas</a>. The DC-10 was intended to succeed the <a href="/wiki/Douglas_DC-8" title="Douglas DC-8">DC-8</a> for long-<a href="/wiki/Range_(aeronautics)" title="Range (aeronautics)">range</a> flights. It first flew on August 29, 1970; it was introduced on August 5, 1971, by <a href="/wiki/American_Airlines" title="American Airlines">American Airlines</a>. The trijet has two <a href="/wiki/Turbofan" title="Turbofan">turbofans</a> on underwing pylons and a third one at the base of the <a href="/wiki/Vertical_stabilizer" title="Vertical stabilizer">vertical stabilizer</a>. The twin-aisle layout has a typical seating for 270 in two classes. The initial DC-10-10 had a 3,500-<a href="/wiki/Nautical_mile" title="Nautical mile">nautical-mile</a> [nmi] (6,500 km; 4,000 mi) range for <a href="/wiki/Transcontinental_flight" title="Transcontinental flight">transcontinental flights</a>. The DC-10-15 had more powerful engines for <a href="/wiki/Hot_and_high" title="Hot and high">hot and high</a> airports. The DC-10-30 and –40 models (with a third main landing gear leg to support higher weights) each had intercontinental ranges of up to 5,200 nmi (9,600 km; 6,000 mi). The <a href="/wiki/KC-10_Extender" class="mw-redirect" title="KC-10 Extender">KC-10 Extender</a> (based on the DC-10-30) is a <a href="/wiki/Tanker_aircraft" class="mw-redirect" title="Tanker aircraft">tanker aircraft</a> that was primarily operated by the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Air_Force" title="United States Air Force">United States Air Force</a>. Early operations of the DC-10 were afflicted by its poor safety record, which was partially attributable to a design flaw in the original cargo doors that caused multiple incidents, including fatalities. Most notable was the crash of <a href="/wiki/Turkish_Airlines_Flight_981" title="Turkish Airlines Flight 981">Turkish Airlines Flight 981</a> in Paris in 1974, the deadliest crash in aviation history up to that time. Following the crash of <a href="/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_191" title="American Airlines Flight 191">American Airlines Flight 191</a>, the deadliest aviation accident in U.S. history, the U.S. <a href="/wiki/Federal_Aviation_Administration" title="Federal Aviation Administration">Federal Aviation Administration</a> (FAA) temporarily banned all DC-10s from American airspace in June 1979. In August 1983, McDonnell Douglas announced that production would end due to a lack of orders, as it had widespread public apprehension after the 1979 crash and a poor <a href="/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_aircraft" title="Fuel economy in aircraft">fuel economy</a> reputation.<a href="#cite_note-nytimes_july1989-2">[2]</a> As design flaws were rectified and fleet hours increased, the DC-10 achieved a long-term safety record comparable to those of similar-era passenger jets. The DC-10 outsold the similar <a href="/wiki/Lockheed_L-1011_TriStar" title="Lockheed L-1011 TriStar">Lockheed L-1011 TriStar</a> due to the latter's delayed introduction and high cost. Production of the DC-10 ended in 1989, with 386 delivered to airlines along with 60 KC-10 tankers. It was succeeded by the lengthened, heavier <a href="/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_MD-11" title="McDonnell Douglas MD-11">McDonnell Douglas MD-11</a>. After merging with McDonnell Douglas in 1997, <a href="/wiki/Boeing" title="Boeing">Boeing</a> upgraded many in-service DC-10s as the MD-10 with a <a href="/wiki/Glass_cockpit" title="Glass cockpit">glass cockpit</a> that eliminated the need for a <a href="/wiki/Flight_engineer" title="Flight engineer">flight engineer</a>.
