Fokker F27 Friendship

rdfs:comment

Design work on the F27 began in the early 1950s with the intention of creating a replacement for the Douglas DC-3. The aircraft had a high-wing twin-engine configuration and a pressurized cabin with enough room for 28 people. Its first prototype made its maiden flight on 24 November 1955 under the registration PH-NIV. The second prototype corrected some handling issues, used more powerful engines, and had room for four more passengers. This prototype was the basis of the first production variant, the F27-100. The Fokker F27 Friendship is a turboprop airliner designed and built by the defunct Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker.

n31:abstract

The Fokker F27 Friendship is a turboprop airliner designed and built by the defunct Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker. Design work on the F27 began in the early 1950s with the intention of creating a replacement for the Douglas DC-3. The aircraft had a high-wing twin-engine configuration and a pressurized cabin with enough room for 28 people. Its first prototype made its maiden flight on 24 November 1955 under the registration PH-NIV. The second prototype corrected some handling issues, used more powerful engines, and had room for four more passengers. This prototype was the basis of the first production variant, the F27-100. The first airline to operate the Friendship was Aer Lingus, who received their first example in 1958. At the time of this introduction, the F27 costed about £239,000 per unit. Since then, it has been adopted by many airlines around the world as both a passenger and cargo aircraft. It has also been used by a number of militaries for transport and maritime reconnaissance. The F27 was licensed built in the United States by Fairchild, who also developed a stretched version called the FH-227. Production of the Friendship ceased in 1987 with 586 constructed, many of which are still in use.
