The Fokker Trimotor, most widely built as the Fokker F.VII, is a passenger and cargo aircraft powered by three engines that the Dutch manufacturer Fokker introduced in the 1920s, using a distinctive plywood covered cantilever wing design. Trimotor variants of the aircraft carried out several celebrated long distance flights of the era, including Richard Byrd's flight over the North Pole and a first crossing of the Pacific Ocean by air, and it was widely used by early airlines on both sides of the Atlantic.
