With initial orders from American and United Airlines, the DC-10 was initially launched in February of 1968 and first flew on August 29, 1970 as the DC-10-10. The 250-300 seat DC-10 directly competed with Lockheed's L-1011 so McDonnell Douglas looked for ways to enhance the DC-10's performance. On June 21, 1972 the more improved version flew and was designated the DC-10-30. In 1984 the last DC-10 rolled off the production line on which 446 units were manufactured. During the 1980's McDonnell Douglas initiated development on an all new version of the DC-10 which was to be designated the DC-10-60. That aircraft later went on to become the MD-11 which was formally launched on December 30, 1986.
