======================================
ROLE
The MD-11F
is a 3 engine, medium to long range wide-body
aircraft featuring an all-digital glass cockpit that decreases the
flight deck crew from the three required on the DC-10 to two by
eliminating the necessity for a flight engineer. After McDonnell
Douglas merged with Boeing in 1997, the new company decided
that MD-11 production would continue, though only for the
freighter variant.
