Fokker F27 Friendship
Fokker
Details
The Fokker F27 Friendship is the best-selling European turboprop airliner ever built and the aeroplane the Fokker 50 was drawn from — the 50 is the F27 Mark 050 on the same certificate. A high wing, two Rolls-Royce Darts and a pressurised cabin for 48, stretched to 59 in the Mark 500, which at 20,820 kg is the heaviest standard the type reaches. Dimensions are EUROCONTROL's figures for the F27 type code rather than the certificate's: EASA TCDS A.036 states no dimension for any Mark, and the source does not distinguish them.
