Historical Note: The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 was initially proposed as a twin engine medium range transport aircraft to carry 250 passengers, this was after a request from American Airlines and the aircraft was called the Douglas D-966-1. However with the foresight of the McDonnell Douglas engineers this idea was put to the wayside and they developed something totally different an intercontinental tri-jet capable of carrying 380 passengers. With the development of more powerful engines from Pratt & Whitney, General Electric and Rolls Royce the once thought US domestic aircraft became an intercontinental passenger airliner.
