В MD-11 легко угадывается предшественник - DC-10. Ряд дружественных "Douglas" и "McDonnell Douglas" эксплуатантов заказали авиалайнер, но продажи шли плохо, и в 2001 году программу закрыли.

"Delta Airlines" разместила заказ на 15 самолетов в 1988 году, а первый в Америке MD-11 поступил в эксплуатацию в 1990 году. Самолеты авиакомпании были поставлены в 1992-1998 годах и оснащались двигателями Pratt & Whitney PW4460.

To reduce drag, the size of the MD-11’s tailplane was reduced to approximately 59% of that of its predecessor, the DC-10 and the resulting reduction in longitudinal stability was alleviated by incorporating a pitch stability augmentation system.

Swiss International Airlines is a new airline poised to supplant both Swissair and the latter's regional subsidiary, Crossair. However, the new airline is unusual in offering a high-quality service rather than taking the low-cost path favoured by some other carriers. Rather than stack 'em high at low fares, Swiss International Airlines intends to increase seat pitch in all classes and provide better in-flight services.

It depicts four historical scenes from the history of air cargo in Germany, including the Berlin Airlift and another of a Boeing 747 freighter being loaded with Volkswagen Beetles for export. The start of German's air cargo industry goes back to a flight by a Harlan Monoplane between Berlin-Johannisthal and Frankfurt-Oder on August 19, 1911, in which copies of the Berliner Morgenpost newspaper were carried. The MD-11 freighter is seen leaving Manchester International airport on November 4, 2011.
