Avensa
Avensa (Aerovías Venezolanas Sociedad Anonima) was a Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela airline that operated domestic and international services. Avensa was formed on May 13, 1943, by Venezuelan Andres Boulton Pietri and Pan American World Airways as a cargo airline with passenger flights commencing in 1944. Avensa went into bankruptcy in 2002 due to poor management. The low-cost airline Servivensa was a subsidiary.
McDonnell Douglas DC-10/MD-10
The DC-10 is an American medium-to-long-range, wide-body trijet airliner that first flew on August 29, 1970, entering service on August 5, 1971, with American Airlines. Unfortunately, the DC-10 suffered a poor safety record early on due to a flaw in the design of the cargo doors.
Produced in several variants: the initial DC-10-10, the improved -15 (domestic), the -30 and -40( transcontinental), and KC-10 Extender air-to-air refuelling tanker. In 1997, Boeing began upgrading the existing DC-10s with a glass cockpit, eliminating the need for a flight engineer and reclassing it as the MD-10.
Production of the DC-10 ended in 1989, with 386 DC-10s and 60 KC-10s built, withdrawn from passenger service by early 2014, and freighter versions continued to operate.
The DC-10 has a flight crew of two pilots and a flight engineer; the MD-10 has two pilots. The passenger cabin seats up to 380. It is powered by three General Electric CF6 high-bypass turbofan engines; the -40 uses the Pratt & Whitney JT9D, one pylon mounted under each wing and the third atop the fuselage’s rear, under the vertical fin.
