Coinciding with the announcement of the 100-seat F-100 in November 1983, Fokker officials announced that they were also planning a 50-seat turboprop aircraft. The plan was to replace the best-selling F-27 aircraft. The new design was based on the F-27-500 model, but had significant changes of about 80% compared to the previous model. Using the PW125 turbopropers and its 6-bladed propeller, the aircraft cruise speed was increased by 12% and fuel savings were significantly reduced. Other improvements to the F-50 included the use of new flight electronics in the cockpit, limited use of composites, and the design of a new cabin for greater passenger comfort. Fokker first equipped the two prototypes with the same F-27 fuselage, the first of which flew on December 28, 1985. Finally, after preliminary tests, the first F-50 aircraft flew on February 13, 1987, and was certified in May 1987. The first aircraft was delivered to Lufthansa Cityline in August of that year. The base model of the Fokker 50 is the F-50-100. Using 3 doors instead of four doors, sample 120 was designed. In 1990, Fokker decided to build the Model 300 using the more powerful PW127B turbopropers. These engines allowed the aircraft to reach higher cruising speeds and perform better, especially at high altitudes. The only known development of the Fokker 50 was the Fokker 60 aircraft. The model, which was 1.62 meters longer than the F-50, was built for the Royal Dutch Air Force. Following Fokker's financial problems and the subsequent bankruptcy of the Dutch plant on March 15, 1996, production of the F-50 ended and the last Fokker 50 was delivered to Ethiopian Airlines in May 1997. A total of 213 aircraft have been produced.

    @Decembermin short landing is so cool. I turn on the AG3 and flaps down during the landing. Very nice.

    I believe this will be the best Fokker-50/ (F27 variants) on this site. And the prop engine response is the most realistic one ever. Great job
