AT Schiphol Airport the first Dutch airliner to be built since the war is nearing completion. The Royal Netherlands Aircraft Company Fokker, which was responsible for a large number of successful airliner designs in the period between the wars, has designed this latest aircraft as a medium size ‘Dakota replacement’. Called the Fokker F.27 Friendship, it carries 28–36 passengers and a liberal amount of luggage on stage lengths up to 1,000 miles. It is powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart propeller turbine engines installed in the high-aspect-ratio high wing. The advanced design incorporates a number of interesting structural features which contribute to efficient production and economy of operation.
