She has two engines mounted on her underwing pylons and the third engine is located at the base of the vertical stabilizer. This particular model was the successor to their DC-8. The production of this aircraft ended in December of 1988, delivering a total of 386 airlines and 60 to the U.S. Air France. The DC-10 was built for American Airlines and built to their specification. They wanted a widebody aircraft that was smaller than the Boeing 747 but had the capability of flying longer ranges and the ability to land on shorter runways. That’s how the DC-10 came about and McDonnell Douglas was able to comply with their requests and the DC-10 was made. The DC-10 made her first flight on August 29, 1970 and entered the commercial service with American Airlines on August 5, 1971. The DC-10’s are 182 feet 3 inches long and 58 feet 1 inch tall, with a wingspan of 155 feet 4 inches. Her max takeoff weight is 430,000 pounds and her empty weight is 240,171 pounds. Her cruise speed is Mach 0.82 which is 564 miles per hour and her max speed is mach 0.88 which is 610 miles per hour. Her range is 3,800 miles and her fuel capacity is 21,700 gallons. It takes a crew of three to operate this aircraft and she holds 380 first class passengers and 250 second class passengers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC-10
