Fokker F.29
Given that no one else seemed to make this cancelled Dutch airliner in SimplePlanes, I thought I should make one.
The Fokker F.29 was supposed to fly in 1983 as a competitor to the Boeing 737-300 and the Airbus A320.
It was to be a Fokker F.28 Fellowship with wing mounted CFM56-2 turbofan engines (same units that power the Douglas DC-8-73 and the KC-135R Stratotanker) and a six abreast cabin layout, stolen from the competing Boeing 737-200.
The aircraft was deemed an utter failure at the end and even if it was constructed, not only would it be the first conventionally engined passenger jet with a T-tail but it would be swiftly retired before it even entered service, since the similar Dassault Mercure was also a failure and the more advanced Fokker 100 is already facing retirement, with KLM Cityhopper and Austrian airlines nuking the aforementioned plane.
