History
In 1939 Fokker had developed an (all-metal) successor of the Douglas DC-2 and DC-3, the Fokker F.24. KLM had ordered four examples and at the time of the German invasion was the first one was under construction.
During the war, the development was secretly continued and in December 1945 Fokker proposed a number of aircraft types that they wanted to develop, including an all-metal airliner.
In autumn 1949 Fokker received subsidy from the Nederlands Instituut voor Vliegtuigontwikkeling, NIV (Dutch Institute for Aerospace Programmes) for a feasibility study on a passenger aircraft with jet engines or turboprops.
In 1951, the first models of the new aircraft were tested in the wind tunnel and in 1953 the final form was established. The same year it was also the first time the new airliner was shown to the public at the Paris Salon Aeronautique .
Two flying prototypes, internally referred to as F.1 and F.3 and two static prototypes, referred to as F.2 and F.4 were built.
On November 24, 1955 the F.1 made its maiden flight. The aircraft, registered as PH-NIV, was equipped with two Rolls Royce Dart RDa6 507 of 1540 hp each, each driving a propeller with a diameter of 3,05 m.
Later these engines were replaced with two Rolls Royce Dart RDa 6 511 of 1740 hp each and driving propellers with a diameter of 3,57 m, as would be applied to the production version, the Fokker F.27 series 100.
In 1957 the engines were replaced by two Rolls Royce Dart 7 RDa 528 of 1835 hp each, as would be applied to the F.27. 200 series
In June 1961, the last flight was made and the unit was eventually dismantled.
Fairchild had acquired the license rights but wanted a version for 32 to 36 passengers, four more than the original version, which could take 28 to 32 passengers.
The second flying prototype, F.3, registered as PH-NVF, had a longer fuselage; This was made 91 cm longer in front of the wing and the fuselage length was therefore 23,16 m. The aircraft had two Rolls Royce engines RDa 6 511-7E of 1742 hp each driving a a propeller of 3,66 m diameter.
The F.3 was widely used for demonstration flights, especially for long flights two additional wing tanks were fitted.
Versions.
Often the "Mark" designation instead of 'series' was used for the several subtypes, for example Fokker F.27 series 100 was then known as Fokker F.27 Mark 100 (or Mk. 100).
The Fokker built aircraft were designated F.27. They were usually equipped with English instruments.
The Fairchild built aircraft were designated F-27 and had American instruments.
Both types seemed not to differ much, but most parts were not interchangeable.
- Fokker F.27 series 100:
- the original type, with 44 seats; propeller with rounded tips; 84 examples built.
- Fokker F.27 series 100MPA: prototype of F.27 MPA, a modified F.27 series 100.
- Fokker F.27 series 200:
- identical to series 100 but equipped wit two Rolls Royce Dart Mk 802 engines; 115 examples built.
- Fokker F.27 series 200M Maritime: Maritime patrol version; Fifteen examples built.
The type could carry two external fuel tanks of 900 l each. In the right tank a remote controlled searchlight was added.
There were convex windows just behind the wings and on each side of the cockpit.
Furthermore, additional fuel tanks of 1000 litres each were installed in the wings. Under the fuselage a radome with a search radar was present, and also there was search equipment contained in a tube under the fuselage.
For positioning an inert navigation device was present.
The type proofed to be a very stable platform with a flight endurance of 11 hours.
- Fokker F.27 series 200M Maritime: Maritime patrol version; Fifteen examples built.

- Fairchild F-27M:One example based on F-27J for use at higher altitudes equipped with larger propellers.
- Fairchild F-27B:
- similar to Fokker F.27 series 300; three examples built..
- Fairchild FH-227:
- F-27J with extended fuselage (2 m in front of the wing) an two Rolls Royce RDa7 Dart 532-7 engines. 28 examples built; twelfth example with reinforced wings.
- Fairchild FH-227B: modified FH-227 with modified fuselage, larger propellers and improved brakes. 37 examples built.
- Fairchild FH-227C:Five examples of an modified FH-227 with larger propellers as of FH-227B.
- Fairchild FH-227D:FH-227B with more powerful Rolls Royce RDA.7 Dart 532-7L engines and discs. Eight examples built.
- Fairchild FH-227E:(after delivery) modified FH-27 with Rolls Royce RDA.7 Dart 532-7L engines and discs.

Information about Dutch aircraft.

Fokker F.27M
During the 70s there arose operational problems with the Lockheed Neptune of the MLD. In particular, the availability of the special fuel F22 was very poor.
Because of this the detachment of the Neptune at Hato airfield was compromised.
In 1978 the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Veldkamp, received a commission to research the usefulness of the Fokker F.27M (Maritime).
The result of this study was that this type was well suited for the task in the Netherlands Antilles, only the lack of armament was a disadvantage.
Fokker F.27M, M-1, photographed during airshow 75yeaars RNlNAS, June 1992 at air station Valkenburg.
On June 30, 1980 it was decided to purchase two examples of this type, later a number of extra aircraft would possibly be purchased.
The F-27M had good positioning system, Liton radar and life-saving equipment such as lifeboats and also a large flight endurance of up to eleven hours (with external fuel tanks).
Furthermore, the Maritime had more powerful engines than the original version, i.e. 2320 hp each, over 720 hp more, making the take-off weight increased from 35000 to 45000 pounds.
On September 30, 1981 the first Maritime, registered M-1 was transferred to Schiphol. On November 9, 1981 the aircraft departed from Soesterberg to the West Indies and flew via the Azores, Canada, Bermuda and Puerto Rico , to the Dr. A. Plesman Airport Willemstad, where it arrived on November 13, 1981.
The M-2 departed on March 8, 1982 from Soesterberg and flew via Las Palmas, Senegal, Brazil and French Guiana. Due to a leaking fuel tank in Dakar, Senegal arrived the aircraft arrived just on March 18, 1982 at Hato.
After two weeks corrosion problems occurred. This was caused because most flight s were at low level above sea and also the aircraft were parked day and night in the open air on the platform, which was about 125 m from open sea. [the existing hangars were too small for the F-27] Furthermore, the trade wind was almost permanently present with lots of sand, high humidity and lots of salt.
All maintenance must take place in the open air and in addition, there were insufficient resources to achieve adequate control of the corrosion. After a patrol flight the pilots were usually looking for a cloud and flew through it, to to rinse the aircraft slightly.
After much discussions about the costs the two old hangars were demolished in August 1985 and shortly thereafter began the construction of a new larger hangar, which was officially opened in June 1986.
in February 1986 despite these measures both aircraft were even even temporarily held to the ground as a result of the corrosion problems.
In September 1992 the right pylon tank with the hardly used searchlight of the M-1, was removed and replaced with a new tank without searchlight.
An periodic examination showed that three out of four tanks were corroded in such a way they could be used any more.
Because the tanks were not immediately necessary, they were not replaced but completely omitted.

Upon delivery, the Fokker F.27s were in the same colour scheme as their predecessor, the Dakota: top of the fuselage white, light gray undersides and orange day glo panels.
Because of the NATO Physical Protection Programme, the aircraft were camouflaged from 1971. The C-1 was the first F.27 which was camouflaged.
Furthermore, a some of the Fokkers were modified for the 'CSR (Additional Military Flying Training) [for the Netherlands Navy]; the C-5, C-6 and C-7 were modified as a navigation trainer and C-3 was converted into ECM trainer.
