Fokker F.XXXVI

Fokker F.XXXVI

The Fokker F.XXXVI (also known as the Fokker F.36) was a 1930s Dutch four-engined 32-passenger airliner designed and built by Fokker. It was the largest transport designed and built by Fokker. Only one was built, and it was used for some commercial routes starting in 1935, and later aviation training by the British Royal Air Force until 1940. The aircraft came on the market at a time when airliners were switching to all metal aircraft, whereas the F.36 had an all wood wing with a fabric covered metal-framed fuselage. The aircraft had a quiet interior and good payload, but the range was low and it had a single seat cockpit in the forward-most position. An improved model with a side-by-side cockpit, the F.37, was designed but not built. With no orders for either model, no more of the design was made. The Fokker F.XXII (F.22) was a similar but smaller version of this aircraft, of which four were made.
