N512JN

This airframe, registered as N512JN, is a freighter variant of the McDonnell Douglas family built in 1992 with manufacturer serial number 48512. The airframe is a McDonnell Douglas MD-11F, registered in the US and owned by ATARES FUNDING LLC of Fisher Island, FL, US; its public record indicates registration and ownership listed to ATARES FUNDING LLC as the primary custodial entity. The aircraft's certification and registry reflect a standard cargo configuration and the manufacturer's identity as McDonnell Douglas; notable registry actions are limited to the ownership entry and standard U.S. registration details visible in records. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the provided data.

The airframe operates as a main-deck freighter with the cabin specified as Freighter (main-deck cargo), indicating removal or absence of a typical passenger interior despite the listed seating capacity of 240 which reflects the model’s standard passenger layout rather than the current cargo fit. Typical mission profiles for this configuration concentrate on long-range, high-payload freight movements enabled by the aircraft’s 6,725 nm range and three high-thrust turbofans. Operator and base details beyond ownership are not provided; maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft follow MD-11F practices, including attention to tri-jet systems and GE CF6 turbofan support infrastructure. No unique cabin amenities or special modifications are published for this airframe.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-11F occupies a niche as a long-range, high-payload widebody freighter, leveraging tri-jet redundancy and the high-thrust GE CF6-80C2D1F engines to serve intercontinental cargo markets. Competing models in the long-range freighter segment include twin-engine widebodies that emphasize fuel efficiency, whereas the MD-11F’s strengths are payload and range as indicated by its 6,725 nm capability and 479 kts cruise. Buyer and aftermarket demand for MD-11Fs is influenced by airframe age, parts availability, and maintenance records; for this particular serial (48512) and owner (ATARES FUNDING LLC), resale and operational considerations would hinge on documented maintenance status, which is not published in the provided data.
