McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30F
5,121 parts applicable to this airframe — widebody
Utilization & cargo trend(US carriers, 2015–2025)
DC-10 family rollup — BTS T-100, domestic + international
US carriers only (BTS T-100, domestic + international segments) — foreign-carrier flying is excluded, so global utilization runs higher. Fleet size is reconstructed from the FAA registry (built on or before each year, not yet deregistered) — an approximation. Freighter share counts departures with zero passengers and freight aboard — a proxy for freighter/combi operations, not a tail-by-tail conversion count. Missing years render as gaps.
USM supply — retirements & teardowns(2023–2026)
DC-10 family — FAA registry deregistrations
FAA registry data. Domestic deregistration is a teardown proxy — it also captures re-registrations and some unflagged exports, so it is not a confirmed part-out count; exported aircraft left the US fleet intact and are not USM supply. ATA shares reflect where this directory's parts for the family concentrate (parts in parentheses) — a coverage signal, not the aircraft's bill of materials or a teardown-yield forecast.
Engine-program supply pressure(since 2023)
FAA registry — US-registered fleet
Engines account for roughly half of all MRO spend, so engine programs shedding aircraft are where retirement supply carries the most value.

FAA registry data, US-registered aircraft only. Counts reflect the engine model as registered — generic “series” rows coexist with thrust-variant rows, so per-variant figures are partial. Retired = domestic deregistrations (a teardown proxy, not a confirmed part-out); exported aircraft left the US fleet intact. Active tails span every family the engine flies on, not just this one.
