Fairchild F-27 /
FH-227
|
Fairchild
acquired a license to build the Fokker F.27 on
April 26, 1956 and put the aircraft into
production at the same time as the parent
company, actually achieving first deliveries and
airline service before Fokker’s own Friendships.
Variants up to F-27M were built or projected,
all with the same basic dimensions and varying
Rolls-Royce Dart models. Fairchild also was the
first to develop a stretched variant, as the
FH-227, nearly two years before Fokker flew the
first F.27-500, with slightly less “stretch’. |
