The Fokker S.14 Machtrainer is a two-seat military training jet designed and built by Fokker for the Royal Netherlands Air Force, and one of the first dedicated jet-powered trainers produced anywhere in the world. Development began in the late 1940s at the urging of Rolls-Royce, which wanted a manufacturer to build a trainer around its Derwent turbojet. The first prototype flew on 19 May 1951, the Dutch air force ordered 20 aircraft, and the type entered service in 1955 and was retired in 1967. Fokker had high hopes of foreign sales, and Fairchild in the United States and Brazil both explored building it, but no organisation other than the Dutch air force ever adopted it.
