The Fokker F27 Friendship is a Dutch turboprop airliner built by Fokker as a successor to the piston-engined airliners of the early 1950s, above all the Douglas DC-3. Its pair of Rolls-Royce Dart turboprops brought less vibration and noise than piston engines, and it was among the first airliners of its class with a pressurised cabin. The first prototype flew on 24 November 1955 and the type entered revenue service in November 1958. Fairchild built the aircraft under licence in the United States and developed a stretched version, the FH-227. By the end of production in 1987 Fokker had completed 592 aircraft, more than any other western European civil turboprop airliner of its time. The Fokker 50 was developed from it and replaced it in production.
