How much fuel does a md11 carry?
The McDonnell Douglas MD 11 is capable of carrying 38,615 gallons of jet fuel. The extended range on the MD 11ER is 7,240 nautical miles.
When anti skid system automatically deactivated?
This may vary by aircraft size and type. The Boeing(McDonnell Douglas) MD11 anti-skid will deactivate at speeds below 12-16 knots. Due to problems with the Center Landing Gear stability, the anti-skid may be deactivated completely for some passenger configuration MD11. However, if not deactivated, such as on MD11F Freighters, the CLG may not engage at higher speeds until 30 seconds after touchdown. There is a complicated logic in the software.
Where is the fuel tank located in a jumbo jet?
Jumbo jets have several fuel tanks. The majority of these fuel tanks are located in the wings of the aircraft. Some aircraft may also have auxiliary tanks in the tail or belly. The Douglas (now Boeing) MD11 has a fuel tank in the Elevator(horizontal tail surface) that is used to balance the aircraft to fly at altitude with less drag.
What is a name of a plane?

Which is bigger Boeing 747 or DC 10?
A Boeing 747 is considerably bigger than a DC 10 (as well as th aircraft that replaced it the MD 11). The Boeing 747-200 had a Max Take-off Gross Weight of 780,000 lbs. Later models increased to 800,000 lbs or more. The DC10-10 has a MTOGW of 455,000 lbs. The DC10-30 has a MTOGW of 530,000 lbs. The MD11 Freighter has a MTOGW of 630,500 lbs. Custermen
How many exits are designated as primary ground escape routes from the aircraft?
The answer depends on which aircraft. Boeing 727 has the front Cabin Doors, L1 & R1, two over-the-wing exits and the rear door. Secondary exits are the crew cockpit windows but this is expected to be used by only the crew. Douglas DC10, MD10, MD11 have the front Cabin Doors and two in the rear, plus the over-the-wing exits. And it also has cockpit window escapes that use inertia reels to slow the descent to the ground.
Two kinds of landing gear?
There are many different kinds of landing gear that can be categorized by their geometry and their internal design. There are fixed landing gears that do not retract. These are usually a support that is made of spring steel that has a axle for a wheel. This example is found on small Cessna aircraft. Other fixed landing gear that are attached at a pin joint and have a shock strut to absorb landing loads. Helicopters are good examples as many have a fixed landing gear. The simplest landing gear shock strut is designed to stroke and absorb energy and it has an axle for either 1 or 2 wheels. These usually rotate on a trunnion at the top of the gear to allow retraction by pivoting of the entire gear. A drag brace locks it down into position. Larger gear have a bogie beam or pivot beam that have multiple wheels, either 4 or 6. The bogie beam attaches to the shock strut and is allowed to pivot during landing and taxi. It will have an actuator or locking mechanism to hold the bogie beam in proper position to allow it to retract in to the wheel well. Internal Design The simplest design is the lower half of the strut(called the Piston) is designed to stroke into the upper half (Outer Cylinder). As it does, the piston forces the fluid through an narrow opening (orifice) that restricts the movement and allows the gear to absorb energy. Many Nose landing gears are of this simple design. Other gear designs will allow the Piston to stroke to a point where it contacts a 2nd Stage. This 2nd stage will have higher pressure or an enclosed volume of air that acts as a final cushion to stop the gear. Some gears have a 2nd Chamber at the top of the gear that has its own piston and orifice. As the Piston strokes, the internal pressures build up and push against the 2nd Stage and it begins to stroke and also resist the forces. This example is found in the DC10 or MD11 Main landing gear.
