The McDonnell Douglas MD-11 (GE-powered) is a three-engine long-range wide-body aircraft built around the trijet MD-11 airframe, and it was delivered in GE-powered configuration with General Electric CF6-80C2D1F engines. It remains best known for long-haul passenger operations and, later, widespread freighter use because of its range, payload, and cargo flexibility.

Our Current Offering

  • Noise Reduction: Later engine and hushkit improvements reduced noise compared with earlier-generation wide-bodies, though the MD-11 is generally noisier than newer twin-engine aircraft.

  • Fuel Savings: The MD-11 was efficient for its era, but it is not in the same fuel-burn class as newer twins like the A350 or 787.

Performance Highlights

The MD-11 was designed as a long-range wide-body with strong payload capability and intercontinental reach. Its trijet layout gave operators flexibility in an era before ultra-efficient long-range twins dominated the market. In freighter form, it became especially valuable because of its payload capacity and large cargo doors.

Cargo Notes

The MD-11 is widely recognized as a cargo aircraft after passenger retirement, with strong belly and freighter utility. Exact LD3 or bulk container counts vary widely by passenger versus converted freighter configuration, so cargo planning should be based on a specific airframe and conversion standard rather than a generic fleet average.
