The Fokker T.IX was a Dutch twin-engined bomber designed and built by Fokker for the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army Air Force as a replacement for its obsolescent Martin-built bombers. Design started in 1938 as the company's first all-metal bomber project. It was a mid-wing monoplane with twin fins and rudders and retractable landing gear, powered by two Bristol Hercules 14-cylinder radial piston engines of 1,025 kW each, with a length of 16.50 m, a wingspan of 24.70 m and a maximum speed of 440 km/h. The T.IX first flew on 11 September 1939 but was damaged in April 1940 during testing when it collided with a hangar door, and the German invasion of the Netherlands then stopped repair and further development.
