I think you're confusing the MD-11 (which was a development of the DC-10).

There was no MD-13 (and I think that number would have been jumped).

The last McDonnell Douglas design to reach project stage was the MD-12.  If you want to see what it would have looked like, just look at the Airbus A-380.

About that time, MD was having financial troubles and sold out to Boeing - instead of the other suitor - Airbus.

You know what i think maybe the traduction into spanish was wrong,but like Omag said Alaska airlines MD-83 i clealy heard it, and i even wrote in my cell phone (always do that to remain me an seach about it)
or even maybe the narrator in english of the show made a mistake,but i think i got in my own library a model by the name md-13 is like b727 with the lareral tails on the top of the central & rudder tail
