Overview page of the Fokker F-series
21 different F-Types and variants were developed and built at Fokker.
Most F-Types were intended for passenger transport from 1919 to 1995.
The smallest of which was the F.II with four seats from 1919, to the largest with 112 seats in the Fokker 100 from 1986.
Exceptions to the F-Types were the F.XIV and the F.VI. These two were not intended for carrying passengers.
The F.XIV from 1919 was a cargo plane only and the F.VI from1921 was used as a PW-5 in the USA as a single seat fighter.
The first of the F series design that was built, was the F.II. manufactured in 1919. The last Fokker design in the F-Type range, was the Fokker 60, a combined cargo / passenger aircraft manufactured in 1995.
The first F-Types, F.II and F.III, were a further development out of the V-types from Germany.
The first F-Types were also built in Schwerin, Germany, and production took place soon after at Fokker's locations in Veere and Amsterdam-Noord.
A number of bomber variants of the Fokker F.VII and F.IX types have been built at home and abroad.
Of seven F-Types, hundreds have been manufactured under license in a number of countries in and outside of Europe.
The Fokker F.VII has also been the basis for many aircraft developed and built in the American Fokker companies in the 1920's and 1930's.
The F.I would have been a logical start for the F-Types, but was never built.
Designer Reinhold Platz did develop the V.44 in 1918, not long after the First World War. The F.I should have been created from that prototype, but that never happened.
As explained on the type designation page, the types are in alphanumeric order and NOT chronological order.
