Uhmmm......................

What plane do I need for Medium-Long Range route?

DC-10-30 or 747-200B?

 

DC-10-30 Has 51,000 fuel consumption, 380 seats and 6,000 mile range or 747-200B with 72,000 fuel consumption, 550 seats and 7,140 miles range.

 

What should I choose? Any suggested Aircraft?

I would choose the DC-10-30 because it is much cheaper to operate.

If you don't need the extra range just do the DC-10-10!

It worked for me before, but this time I want to use the L-1011 once the 70s begin.

That's also a good plane.

Why not both?

 

Or if you do the DC-10 then you can operate both variants of it. You can use the -30 for trans-atlantic and the -10 for domestic and regional

I keep a spreadsheet with AE aircraft data and run some formulas in order to compare planes. The formulas result in numbers where the smaller the numbers the better.

Both aircraft are very similar in the end. In my chart, they are actually tided at 21 points.

 

Nevertheless in a simple comparison (and considering the formulas used), In a 4000 mile route the 747-200B is US $5.83 cheaper per passenger than the DC-10-30, and in a 2000 mile route the 747 advantage goes down to just US $1.74

 

In theory the DC-10's advantage on fuel  consumption is not enough to beat the 747 larger number of passengers, except on very short routes, where the 747 has to stay in the ground for 30 minutes more than the DC-10
