DC-10-10
McDonnell Douglas · USA
The DC-10 featured a unique engine mounted in the vertical stabilizer. It was designed to operate from shorter runways than the 747 while still carrying over 250 passengers in a twin-aisle configuration.
Legacy Fact: Despite a rocky start, it became a prolific freighter and remains in use today as the MD-10/MD-11.
