N543JN

This airframe, registered as N543JN, is a McDonnell Douglas-built freighter originally manufactured in 1994 with serial number 48543. The airframe is a three-engine McDonnell Douglas MD-11F currently held by ATARES FUNDING LLC with a registered location of Fisher Island, FL, US and registration US. Ownership timeline beyond the current corporate holder is not published, and there are no publicly listed notable registry actions for this specific tail in the provided data. Valuation and detailed condition assessments for this specific airframe are not published in the supplied information.

The aircraft is configured as a freighter with a main-deck cargo layout and a small flight/deckcrew or passenger accommodation of 7 seats, reflecting typical MD-11F operator conversions that prioritize palletized or containerized cargo capacity on the primary deck. Specific avionics fit and supplemental mission equipment are not published in the provided data; however, with a long-range capability of 3,945 nm and a cruise speed of 473 kts, the airframe would be suited to medium- to long-haul cargo routes, intercontinental freight services, and heavyweight freight sectors often operated from coastal U.S. bases. Maintenance considerations for this MD-11F will typically emphasize three-engine integration and CF6-80 series engine support, structural inspections associated with older widebody freighters, and records traceability under its corporate registration.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-11F occupies a niche as a high-capacity, long-range trijet freighter derived from a passenger widebody platform, offering reach to 43,000 ft and transoceanic range performance. Competing models in the cargo market include twin-engine widebodies and converted passenger-to-freighter aircraft that emphasize lower operating costs; the MD-11F’s three-engine layout and age profile influence buyer and charter demand. Prospective operators and lessors assessing N543JN would weigh the airframe’s 1994 manufacture date and CF6-80C2D1F engine commonality against maintenance, parts availability, and resale considerations typical for late-model MD-11 freighters.
