	Fokker F50 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fokker F50 was a small turboprop-powered airliner designed as a refinement of and successor to the highly successful Fokker Friendship.
		Sales of the Fokker F-27 "Friendship", which had been continually in production since 1958, were beginning to decline by the 1980's.
		Fokker management, notably Frans Swarttouw, decided, that an aeronautical and electronic update of both the F-27 and the F-28 (the short-range twin jet for ca 85 passengers) were in order.

	Fokker Dr 1 Information
		He was killed in his Fokker Dr 1 whilst chasing a novice pilot fairly low to the ground by a single shot in the heart by either a Canadian Pilot, Australian machine gunners or by ground troops.
		The Fokker Dr 1 was a successful plane because it was small and had 3 wings and a supplementary airfoil on the undercarriage.
		However, the Fokker Dr 1 was not without problems, some reasons why it did not succeed was because of the poor wing design which led to the temporary withdrawal from service by the end of October 1917.

	Fokker Dr.1 35"
		As was common in aircraft companies of the period, Fokker's practice was to submit sketches to his craftsmen for prototype development of new types.
		The development of the Fokker Triplane was requested by von Richtofen when he noticed the Sopwith Triplane's superior rate of climb and performance in combat.
		Fokker was required to fix 20 areas of contention on each aircraft and was to do this at his expense.

	First World War.com - Who's Who - Anton Fokker
		Anton Fokker's (1890-1939) name is inextricably linked with the series of aircraft he designed and which, employed by the Germans during World War One, came to personify the era of aerial 'dogfights'.
		Fokker's company also invented the so-called 'interrupter gear' that made it possible for a machine gun to fire through the aircraft's propeller blades.
		Fokker's development of the interrupter gear pre-empted French efforts led by Roland Garros along similar lines (the French however had concentrated upon the development of deflector blades).

	fokker dvii
		Fokker's ego and dominating personality frequently led him to understate Platz's role as the genuine innovator of the designs that bore the Fokker name, and he took undue credit for himself.
		Moreover, Fokker understood better than any of his competitors that overall performance was more important in a fighter aircraft than exceptional performance in one or two areas, such as speed or climb rate.
		The Fokker D.VII was brought to the United States after the war and given to the Smithsonian Institution by the War Department in 1920.

		But their aviation industry had been largely wiped out during the chaos of the civil war and help could not be expected from the west who's industry and government was controlled by the same kind of people whom the Reds had either banished to Siberia or just lined up against a wall and shot 3).
		Fokker was no flaming Bolshevik but he knew that the arms manufacturers of Europe would not be jumping all over each other to sell the Reds armaments.
		The Red government contracted with Fokker for a large quantity of aircraft in during the early 1920's.

	Anthony Fokker
		Herman Gerard Fokker was born the son of a Dutch tea planter in Kediri Java, he returned to Holland with his family in 1894.
		It was not by technical education but by native genius and inventiveness, that Fokker gained the title of "The Flying Dutchman" By age 20 he had produced what was believed to be the fastest, most stable aircraft in the world.
		The great German aces of the war - Voss, Immelmann, Boelke, and Richtoffen - achieved their outstanding records with the help of the "Fokker." Accomplishments including the E series, the D-VII, which was probably the best fighter of the war and the DR-1 tri-plane made famous by the Red Baron.

		Fokker announced it was developing the Fokker 100 simultaneously with the Fokker 50 turboprop in November 1983.
		The Fokker 100 is based on the basic F-28 airframe, with the most important and obvious change being the stretched fuselage, increasing maximum seating to 122, compared with 85 in the F-28-4000 (on which the 100 is based).
		The Fokker 100 was offered in a number of versions including higher gross weight options of the standard airliner, the Fokker 100QC Quick change airliner or freighter with a large forward freight door and the Fokker Executive Jet 100 corporate shuttle or VIP transport, fitted with luxury interiors to customer requirements.

	AVSIM Freeware Aircraft Package Review: Fokker F70/F100
		Fokker went on to develop many successful World War I fighter aircraft, particularly the superlative Fokker D.VII and the DR.I, known as the "Red-Baron" (see Avsim's recent review of SimTech's DR-1 Deluxe).
		Fokker's best selling aircraft between the two World Wars was the three-engined F.VII, which had the world's first air cooled engine, of which 230 were built.
		Later on in the life of the Fokker F100, a smaller derivative, known as the Fokker F70, was produced.

	The Fokker Scourge by Stan Stokes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Anthony Herman Gerard Fokker was born in the Dutch East Indies in 1890.
		Fokker's father persuaded his son to attend an automobile mechanics school in Germany, but Anthony was disappointed and convinced his father to enroll him in a school near Mainz which offered courses in aircraft construction and flying.
		Fokker became interested in the design of the Moraine-Saulnier, which exhibited flying characteristics far superior to the early Fokker designs.

	Airliners.net: Fokker 70 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Fokker began development of the new derivative airliner in November 1992 despite the absence of firm orders, hopeful of snaring a large share of the forecast 2000 plus aircraft in the 70 to 125 seat class required through to 2010, and the replacement F-28 market.
		The Fokker 70's 30.91m (101ft 4in) length is close to that of the F-28-4000's 29.61m (97ft 2in), on which the Fokker 100 was originally based.
		The Fokker 70 was offered with two flightdecks, one optimised for the 70's regional airline operations, the other essentially identical to the Fokker 100's to give operators of both types commonality.

	Synchronizing Gear (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		It was immediately sent to Anthony Fokker, a Dutch designer who was producing aircraft at his factory in Germany.
		Fokker was convinced that it was vitally important to develop a system where the pilot could fire a machine-gun while flying the plane.
		A cam was attached to the crankshaft of the engine in line with each propeller blade, when the blade reached a position in which it might be struck by bullets from the machine-gun, the relevant cam actuated a pushrod which, by means of a series of linkages, stopped the gun from firing.

	Fokker-built DC-3,Herman De Wulf
		Recent research learned however that Fokker delivered a 14th DC-3 in the opening days of WW II which is apparently missing from official documents.
		Anthony Fokker, the well-know Dutch aircraft manufacturer who in the Thirties was building his own popular family of conventional (of wood and fabric) airliners, had met Donald Douglas in 1933 at Santa Monica while having a look at the prototype DC-1 and both men became friends.
		The first such Fokker DC-2 was delivered on 25 August 1934 and left New York aboard the Dutch vessel SS Statendam on 11 September 1934.
