The MD-10 is a cargo variant of the MD-11.
Also, in the future, please post this in General TravelTalk, as it doesn't relate to American Airlines.
BizJet- The MD-10 is a variant of the DC-10, not the MD-11. The MD-10 will share some MD-11 features, but all MD-10s were once DC-10s. You will not find an MD-11 that became an MD-10.
