The MD-11 has the highest landing speeds of any transport category aircraft
due to design compromises in the design process. Not unusual for an MD-11 to have approach speeds of over 160kts.
At 481K lbs (Max Lndg Wt) an MD11 approach speed would be about 156kts at full flaps
At 575K lbs (Max Lndg Wt) a B77 approach speed would be about 151kts at full flaps
at 480K would be about 139kts
