The Fokker F27 Friendship is a turboprop airliner developed and manufactured by the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker. It has the distinction of being the most numerous post-war aircraft to have been manufactured in the Netherlands; the F27 was also one of the most successful European airliners of its era. Shortly after its introduction, the F27 was recognised as being a commercial success. Under a licensing arrangement reached between Fokker and the American aircraft manufacturer Fairchild, the F27 was manufactured in America by the latter; Fairchild went on to independently develop a stretched version of the airliner, which was designated as the Fairchild FH-227. During the 1980s, Fokker developed a modernised successor to the F27, the Fokker 50, which eventually replaced it in production. Fokker F27 FriendshipDesigned as a pressurized, turboprop medium-range airliner, the F27 was first flown on November 24th, 1955.© Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
