The Douglas DC-10 was build as a reply to the Lockheed Martins L1011 Tristar. Originally DC10 was designed with two engines only, but the 3. one was added (at the tail) when the launch costumer American Airlines wanted the DC10 to be able to takeoff from short runways.

The production of the DC10 ended in 1988 with 386 built, but untill year 2000 a developed version of the DC10, named MD11, was produced in 200 specimen. The end of the production was caused by the fusion of Boeing og McDonnell Douglas. The last MD11 was delivered for Lufthansa Cargo.

DC10 is also built as an air to air tanker aircraft, named KC-10 Extender.
