The Fokker 70 is a narrow-body, twin-engined turbofan regional airliner built by Fokker as a smaller version of the Fokker 100. Development began in November 1992, shortening the Fokker 100 fuselage by 4.62 metres while leaving the wings and tail largely unchanged. It carried up to 80 passengers, reduced to 70 for the United States market to meet scope clause rules. The first flight took place on 4 April 1993 and type certification followed on 14 October 1994, with the first delivery to the Ford Motor Company in an executive configuration. Only 47 aircraft and one prototype were completed before the bankruptcy of Fokker ended production in 1997. Dozens remain in service with airlines and governments.
