FS2004 iFDG SWISS MD11 HB-IWE UPH
"Nadelhorn"
Repaint from Urs Hess (UPH-SYSTEMS). This Aircraft will unfortunately be
faced out with the SWISS Airliners by end of 2004. I have flown many
times with this Aircraft. The MD-11 was the swansong for the Douglas
Aircraft Company, its last great airliner. A derivative of the highly
successful DC-10-30, the MD-11 featured an 18.5ft stretch, drag reducing
supercritical wings and winglets, more powerful and efficient turbofan
engines, and a revolutionary and spacious glass instrumented cockpit. A
high degree of automation endows the MD-11 with precision guided flight
from takeoff to landing. Although a commercial failure as a passenger
plane, the MD-11 has become a highly valued transport for cargo
airlines. Safety concerns have marred the MD-11's image in the past, but
with the latest improvements in flight control software and using new
electrical engineering methods, the MD-11 has become a true swan of the
skies. About 185 MD-11's remain in service, and it is expected that they
will endure for many years in the niche they have risen to dominate.
