The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 was initially designed to be operated on transcontinental or regional routes with fewer passengers than the Boeing 747 thus broadening the widebody market to more airlines and a greater proportion of the traveling public. #WidebodyAV This tweet was posted on December 05, 2019.

When McDonnell Douglas began to develop its widebody jetliner in the late 1960s, they endeavored to create an airliner that would operate in areas not served by the Boeing 747. MD portrayed their DC-10 as the widebody for the entire family in this promotional poster. #WidebodyAV This tweet was posted on December 05, 2019.

The 747 offered #BOAC a far more comfortable, roomy, and luxurious option compared to the narrow-body Vickers VC10. It also had a capacity that was more than double that of the VC10 or the Boeing 707. Did you ever fly on a BOAC 747? #WidebodyAV #avgeek This tweet was posted on November 26, 2019.

The DC-10 had a feeling of cabin spaciousness though it was smaller than the 747. It was also designed to be used at airports that could not handle the demands of the 747 and thus open up #widebody operations more broadly. #WidebodyAV This tweet was posted on October 02, 2019.
