    Number of passengers

This passenger aircraft was designed for short and medium distances and accommodated up to 44 passengers. On November 24, 1955, the prototype made its first test flight. Fokker used an advanced construction method in building the F.27. Instead of riveting with nails, the metal parts were glued. The result was significant weight savings, extra rigidity and better streamlining.

Within Aviodrome we have the Fokker F27 twice in our collection. One can be found in the indoor exhibit, the other in the outdoor exhibit.
