	Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fairchild Swearingen Metroliner or the Fairchild Aerospace Metro is a 19-seat, pressurised, twin turboprop airliner first produced by Swearingen and later by Fairchild.
		Late in 1971 Swearingen was acquired by Fairchild, and the plant in San Antonio, Texas where the Metro was built became part of Fairchild Aircraft Corporation.
		Although Fairchild studied a version with a "stand-up" cabin (as in the Beechcraft 1900D) this was not built.

	Fairchild - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fairchild was an aerospace manufacturing company based at various times in Farmingdale, New York, Hagerstown, Maryland, and San Antonio, Texas.
		Among its activities during World War II was producing a twin-engine trainer, the Fairchild AT-21 Gunner, at a former rayon mill in Burlington, North Carolina.
		In 1956 the company acquired rights to the Fokker Friendships, producing 206 of the aircraft as the Fairchild F-27 and Fairchild Hiller FH227.

		Fairchild developed a camera where the shutter was inside the lens and which produced much clearer images.
		Fairchild took on the task in 1941 of producing military transports designed specifically for that purpose rather than by converting a civilian model to military purposes, as was customary.
		Fairchild acquired Republic Aviation, a major producer of combat aircraft, in September 1964.

	A-10/OA-10 Thunderbolt II
		Needed was a heavily armed aircraft that could respond rapidly to a call for help and had the ability to destroy tanks, artillery batteries, and other types of enemy strongholds.
		Neither a fast aircraft nor one with long range was required; good maneuverability, extended loiter time in the battle area, and a lethal weapons load were needed.
		Fairchild- Republic and Northrop were given contracts for the construction of prototypes to be used in a flyoff competition from which a winner would be selected for production.

	01-8011 -- Herrick v. Gavery -- 07/24/2002
		Fairchild had submitted these materials to the CAA in order to receive an "Approved Type Certificate." Obtaining such a certificate is a requirement for the construction, sale, and use of a new type of aircraft in the United States.
		Throughout this opinion, "Fairchild" is used to refer to the corporation (Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation) that produced the aircraft in the 1930s, submitted the type certificate, and, as discussed below, granted permission in 1955 for the documents to be loaned to the public.
		Indeed, Fairchild's 1955 letter indicates that the company would have been equally willing to release the information itself to any member of the public who requested it and that the purpose of the letter was instead to deflect such requests to the government.

	Fairchild PT-19 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Fairchild PT 19 Cornell was one of a handful of primary trainer designs that were the first stop on a cadet's way to becoming a combat pilot.
		Fairchild developed a nearly identical variant of the PT 19, the PT 26, for the Royal Canadian Air Force that featured fully enclosed cockpits to help combat the cold Canadian climate.
		In July 1944, the aircraft was transferred to the 4136th Base Unit, Tinker Field, Oklahoma and was eventually turned over to the Reconstruction Finance Corp. for disposition in August 1944.

		Panagra uses Fairchilds in regular service over the towering Andes, while Richard E. Byrd and Bernt Balchen make the first flights over Antarctica in their "stars and stripes." Later, Fairchild's improved model 71 finds wide use in Alaska and Canada, as well as by the military for cargo and photo work.
		Fairchild valiantly struggles to keep alive the development of a 10-passenger airliner, while the aviation corporation staggers from losses in its airline operations.
		Later, Fairchild cameras are used in the Apollo missions to provide the first precise photography of the moon's surface.

	Fairchild FC-2W2
		The Fairchild FC-2W2 cabin monoplane was chosen as an all- purpose aircraft for the expedition while the Ford Tri-Motor Josephine Ford was to fly the historic South Pole flight.
		The aircraft was flown to the Naval Air Station at Hampton Roads, Virginia, where it was disassembled, crated, and loaded onboard a Norwegian whaling ship for transport to Antarctica.
		The aircraft is now regarded as at least a composition of documented FC-2W2 parts, some of which are undoubtedly from the original Stars and Stripes, and new or repaired parts.

	Fairchild C-123 Provider
		These aircraft were outfitted with retractable skis for operation from compacted snow runways, and equipped the 408th Air Transport Squadron of the 4081st Strategic Wing at Harmon AFB, Newfoundland.
		This aircraft featured a main gear track width that was increased 5 feet to 17.6 feet and had larger tires that gave 41 percent more ground contact.
		During the early 1960s the Fairchild Company proposed a C-123 follow-up design to be powered by four General Electric T-64 turboprop engines of 2,800 HP each.

	Fairchild PT-19
		Fairchild's aircraft also had a wide-track landing gear that made landings (one of the most difficult aspects of flying) easier for students to master.
		But Fairchild itself was not able to build airframes as fast as the Army needed them.
		The Army accepted the aircraft in February 1943 and used it at several training bases before it ended up at Greenville, Mississippi, in May 1945.

	AIAA - Aerospace America Online - INDUSTRY INSIGHTS - Fairchild Dornier: Phoenix into ashes.
		In April, Fairchild Dornier filed for insolvency under German law, a move similar to entering Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. The corporation had accumulated a debt of $670 million.
		The Fairchild Dornier story, and to a lesser extent the BAE experience, certainly reflect the new post-September 11 business climate, which is less optimistic about risky ventures and more conservative with capital.
		But when Fairchild and Embraer began doing battle with their all-new regional jet families (the 528/728/928 and ERJ-170/190), the first battlegrounds were Lufthansa and Crossair (now Swiss).

		One class of aircraft that is often neglected by aviation historians is the utility aircraft -- the "cargo vans" of the air.
		One such aircraft in particular, the Fairchild FC deserves special mention for its great contribution toward the taming of much of Canada's wilderness areas.
		In fact, by the late 1930's the Fairchild was being flown on more than thirty farreaching Canadian routes, forming links with, for example, Canada's northernmost radio station at Aklavik and with points bearing such evocative names as Goldfields and Coppermine.

		No P&Ws for Fairchild (or Kaiser-Fraser), so the rest of the F models then on the assembly line and the G models that were built in 1953 - The 53-32xx and 53-78xx numbered aircraft all were fitted with Wright 3350s and Aeroproducts 4-bladed props.
		The aircraft looks to me like it has been extensively refurbished, probably at Fox's expense, and I might speculate that the three bladed props were part of the deal.
		During the next few years our aircraft were modified for the new project; there were engine modifications, hydraulic systems to handle the recovery poles, winch reels for the recovery of parachutes and their packages, long range fuel tanks were added and special rear doors to replace the old style clamshell doors.
