	Fokker F27 - Definition, explanation (372 words) The Fokker F27 Friendship is a turboprop airliner designed and built by the Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker. In 1956 Fokker signed a deal with Fairchild for the latter to construct the aircraft in the USA. In 1985 two Fokker F27 Troopships were leased by the US Army parachute team, the Golden Knights. Airliners.net: Fokker F-27 & Fairchild F-27 & FH-227 (547 words) Probably the closest to being the fabled DC-3 replacement, the Fokker F-27 Friendship, including the Fairchild built F-27 and FH-227, was built in greater numbers than any other western turboprop airliner. The Fokker F-27 began life as a 1950 design study known as the P275, a 32 seater powered by two RollsRoyce Dart turboprops. This original prototype was powered by Dart 507s and would have seated 28, by the time the second prototype had flown (in January 1957) the fuselage length grew to allow seating for 32.
