| The Fokker 50 was based on the F-27 Friendship but was in fact a completely new aircraft. The F-27 Rolls Royce Dart engines proved very reliable, but the modern Pratt & Whitney PW125 type was fitted into the Fokker 50. It needed a new nacelle, particularly in front of the wing LE. The propeller was a six bladed Dowty propeller. A new interior was designed with many smaller fuselage windows and changed doors. The length is derived from the F-27 mark 500. This version was 1.50 m longer than the F-27 mark 100/ 200/ 300/ 400. The wingtips were modified with "foklets": the ailerons got a aerodynamic curve at the tip. The rudder got a trim surface. On the right horizontal stabilizer also got a trim surface. Nose undercarriage was renewed with twin wheels. |
