Part of a wing of a Federal Express jumbo jet fell off Friday morning and landed in the parking lot of a North Fort Worth apartment complex. A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that a panel from the upper left wing of an MD-11 fell from the plane as it was inbound to Alliance Airport shortly after 1 a.m.
I am wondering how this falling panel missed hitting the
LOWER left wing on its way down. Musta been a miracle, I guess. .....

Wondering if this "biplane" version of the MD-11 allows FX to have a greater MTOW and thus outdo UPS, et al on gross lift?
