The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 (also known as Boeing MD-11 and affectionately called elf by its fans) is a three-engine long-range jet passenger aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of over 280 tons. The aircraft was produced by the American aircraft manufacturer McDonnell Douglas, which later merged with Boeing.
The MD-11 was the successor to the DC-10. The aircraft made its first test flight on January 10, 1990, and in December 1990 Finnair was able to take delivery of the first example. After the merger of McDonnell Douglas with Boeing, it was decided to stop the production of this aircraft type as of March 2001. The last MD-11 intended for passenger flights rolled out of the factory in 1998. Two years later, the production of cargo planes was also closed. A total of two hundred MD-11s were built.
