Fokker
Fokker was a Dutch aeronautical company founded in 1912. The company specialized in the production of aircraft machines and later in the development and production of aircraft for civil and military purposes. Among the company's most successful products are the Fokker Dr.I and Fokker D.VII aircraft, which became famous during World War I. After the war, the company focused on civil air transport and began producing commercial aircraft. In the 1950s and 1960s, Fokker specialized in short and medium haul, producing successful aircraft such as the Fokker F27 Friendship and Fokker F28 Fellowship. In 1996, Fokker ran into trouble and eventually went bankrupt in 1997. In 2001, most of its operations were sold to Stork Aerospace and some of the brands were subsequently sold to GKN Aerospace. Today, the Fokker brand is used for aircraft manufactured by GKN

Fokker F50
The Fokker F50 is a regional turboprop aircraft developed by the Dutch company Fokker in the 1980s. It is an improved version of the Fokker F27 with a larger passenger capacity and more modern equipment. The F50 can seat up to 58 passengers and is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW125B turboprop engines with more power than the engines used in the F27. These improvements give the F50 a longer range and faster speed than its predecessor. The aircraft was developed for short regional routes and is still in use in many countries around the world. The F50 is particularly popular with smaller regional airlines that need a flexible and economical aircraft for short-haul routes. The F50 is also often used as a cargo aircraft for short-haul cargo transport.
