The Fokker F28 Fellowship is the first jet-powered airliner built by Fokker. It was announced by Fokker in April 1962. The aircraft was designed for short to medium-haul distances and could accommodate 65 passengers. It was specifically designed to operate from smaller, regional airfields. A unique feature in the civil aviation world is the "speedbrake", airbrakes built into the tail. Until then, such a system was only common on military aircraft.
In the extended version (Mk 2000 and Mk 4000), the aircraft can carry 85 passengers.
For the construction of the aircraft, Fokker collaborated with Hamburger Flugzeugbau (formerly Blohm & Voss), Vereinigte Flugtechnische Werke (VFW), both from Germany, and Short Brothers & Harland from Belfast (Northern Ireland). Suppliers included: Sundstrand, Westinghouse and Rolls-Royce.
Ì´Ì_The first prototype, the PH-JHG, is named after Fokker's chief designer, J.H. Greidanus. It made its first flight on 9 May 1967. The crew consisted of test pilots Andreas ("Jas") Moll (captain), Abe van der Schraaf and flight engineer Cees Dik. The flight took place from Schiphol and lasted 1 hour and 25 minutes.
The aircraft was acquired, among others, by the Dutch government and used as a "Government Fellowship". It was painted in colours typical of Martinair, but with only an orange stripe on the sides of the aircraft and the national coat of arms on the fuselage (below the cockpit).
