MD 10 Program Questions
 

All,

Tried searching for current information on the MD10 program without much luck.

Is the program still a go?

Same type as a DC 10 or MD 11 or separate type rating?

Any customers other than FEDEX?

Thanks in advance.

Program is still "go", total 89 to be built, 16 flying online currently, more in test, all going to FedEx.

Same type rating as the MD-11, NOT the same as the DC-10.

Thanks for the info.....Any comments on different handling characteristics of the two aircraft? It is quite startling to taxi past an MD 11 and a DC10/MD10 and see the dramatic difference in the size of thier respective horizontal stabs/elevators.

Seeing that the type is common between the MD10/MD11, was there any artificial feel introduced into the MD10 to make it "feel" more like an MD11?
