Fokker D.XIV

The Fokker D.XIV was a fighter developed in the Netherlands in the mid-1920s that was built only as a single prototype. It was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a fixed tailskid undercarriage, its basic concept derived from the Fokker V.25 that had been developed during the First World War, and the pilot sat in an open cockpit behind the trailing edge of the wing. It was powered by a Hispano-Suiza 12Hb engine of 440 kW and reached a maximum speed of 274 km/h. Flight testing revealed excellent performance, but development ceased when the prototype crashed and killed the test pilot, so the D.XIV never reached production.
