“Hard landing bounce protection software.” If you look at the history of the MD11 and the landing incidents it has had you’ll have a full picture of what they were testing.

[JmAnYoShI]

With the way FedEx treats my packages, you’d never guess that their planes land this smooth.

[frailgrande]

Thank you FedEx for keeping alive the MD11 ❤

[RhythmOfTomorrow]

This hard landing is the one of the smoothest I've ever seen

There is something about the MD11 that always is so cool. I’ll occasionally switch my favorite aircraft after seeing a new one here and there, but the MD11 always comes back to number one on that list.

Ryanair be like: let's do experimental landings all the time!

[KatsuSush]

That hard landing bounce protection software was integrated into the MD-11F because of what happened on FedEx 14 and 80

[heavyboeing]

MD 11 has a higher approach speed and landing compared to the MD 10.

[Baldi_baldimore-]

Kids when they see a fedex md-11: OMG ITS FEDEX 80 AND 14 IM AN AVGEEK

[kjamison]

That third engine for when it absolutely has to be there fifty percent faster.

[dilligafdude]

Buttered the bread with that landing. Smooth and silky.

[bobbrown]

The big hole on top is for a subwoofer ☺️

[googaagoogaa]

Hell one of the best MD11 landings I've seen

[User-pxqzt]

Finally my delivery is here in one piece

[ubbs]

Never ceases to amaze me of the way that the force of landing is distributed throughout the air frame and gear

[ClinkItsNicko]

imagine seeing this plane at narita airport in march 23 2009...

[yan]

It would appear the software is functioning nominally

[TheHamster]

My mind: PLEASE DINT BOUNCE PLEASE DONT BOUNCE PLEASE DONT ROLL

[John--]

mad respect to over night pilots who make over night deliveries possible 👏 image the danger falling asleep on a commercial vehicle versus an airplane

[cjellijay]

Glad the controller, if the transmission matches with the video, decided to annoy the pilots on VERY short final. Good call.
