Koninklijke Nederlandse Vliegtuigenfabriek Fokker}}; {{Literal translation|Royal Dutch Aircraft Factory Fokker}}) was a Dutch [[aircraft manufacturer]] that operated from 1912 to 1996. The company was founded by the Dutch aviator [[Anthony Fokker]] and became famous during [[World War I]] for its [[fighter aircraft]]. During its most successful period in the 1920s and 1930s, Fokker dominated the civil aviation market. The company's fortunes declined over the course of the late 20th century; it declared [[bankruptcy]] in 1996, and its operations were sold to competitors. ==History== [[File:Fokker Spin.jpg|thumb|right|Fokker's first airplane, the ''Spin'' (Spider) (1910)]] ===Fokker in Germany=== At age 20, while studying in Germany, Anthony Fokker built his initial aircraft, the [[Fokker Spin|''Spin'']] (Spider)—the first Dutch-built plane to fly in his home country. Taking advantage of better opportunities in Germany, he moved to [[Berlin]], where in 1912, he founded his first company, Fokker Aeroplanbau, later moving to the Görries suburb just southwest of [[Schwerin]] (at {{Coord|53|36|45.90|N|11|22|31.60|E}}), where the current company was founded, as Fokker Aviatik GmbH, on 12 February 1912.<ref>[http://library.thinkquest.org/C002752/fokker.cgi?page=anthony "Anthony Herman Gerard Fokker."] ''Fokker, A Living History.'' Retrieved: 19 December 2010.</ref> ===World War I=== Fokker capitalized on having sold several [[Fokker Spin]] monoplanes to the German government and set up a factory in Germany to supply the [[German Army (German Empire)|German Army]] in [[World War I]]. His first new design for the Germans to be produced in any numbers was the [[Fokker M.5]], which was little more than a copy of the [[Morane-Saulnier G]], built with steel tube instead of wood for the fuselage, and with minor alterations to the outline of the rudder and undercarriage and a new aerofoil section.<ref name="Weyl p65-7">Weyl 1965, pp. 65–67.</ref> When it was realized that arming these scouts with a machine gun firing through the arc of the propeller was desirable, Fokker developed a [[Synchronization gear#Fokker's Synchronizer and other German gears|synchronization gear]] similar to that patented by [[Franz Schneider (engineer)|Franz Schneider]].<ref name="Weyl 96">Weyl 1965, p. 96.</ref> [[File:Fokker EIII 210-16.jpg|thumb|right|Fokker Eindecker in flight]] Fitted with a developed version of this gear, the M.5 became the [[Fokker Eindecker]], which due to its revolutionary armament, became one of the most feared aircraft over the western front, its introduction leading to a period of German air superiority known as the [[Fokker Scourge]] which only ended with the introduction of new aircraft such as the [[Nieuport 11]] and [[Airco DH.2]]. During World War I, Fokker engineers worked on the [[Fokker-Leimberger]], an externally powered 12-barrel [[Gatling gun]] in the 7.92×57mm round claimed to be capable of firing over 7200 rounds per minute.<ref>[http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1957/1957%20-%200312.html?tracked=1 "Motor Guns-A flashback to 1914–18."] ''Flight,'' 8 March 1957, pp. 313–314.</ref> Later in the war, after the [[Fokker D.V]] (the last design by earlier chief designer Martin Kreutzer), had failed to gain acceptance with the ''[[Luftstreitkräfte]]'' the German government forced Fokker (for their aircraft production expertise) and [[Junkers]] (for their pioneering all-metal airframe construction techniques, and advanced design concepts) to cooperate more closely, which resulted in the foundation of the Junkers-Fokker Aktiengesellschaft, or Jfa, on 20 October 1917. As this partnership proved to be troublesome, it was eventually dissolved. By then, former Fokker welder and new designer [[Reinhold Platz]], who had taken the late Martin Kreutzer's place with the firm, had adapted some of Prof. Junkers' design concepts, that resulted in a visual similarity between the aircraft of those two manufacturers during the next decade. Some of the noteworthy types produced by Fokker during the second half of the war, all designed primarily by Platz, included the [[Fokker D.VI]] biplane, [[Fokker Dr.I]] triplane or ''Dreidecker'' (remembered as a mount of the [[Red Baron]]), [[Fokker D.VII]] biplane (the only aircraft ever referred to directly in a treaty: all D.VII's were singled out for handover to the allies in their terms of the [[Armistice with Germany (Compiègne)|armistice agreement]]) and the [[Fokker D.VIII]] parasol monoplane. ===Return to the Netherlands=== In 1919, Fokker, owing large sums in back taxes (including 14,250,000 [[German Papiermark|marks]] of income tax),<ref name="weyl p354">Weyl 1965, p.354.</ref> returned to the Netherlands and founded a new company near [[Amsterdam]] with the support of the ''Steenkolen Handels Vereniging'', now known as [[SHV Holdings]]. He chose the name ''Nederlandse Vliegtuigenfabriek'' (Dutch Aircraft Factory) to conceal the Fokker brand because of his involvement in World War I. Because of the strict disarmament conditions of the [[Treaty of Versailles]], Fokker did not return home empty-handed. In 1919, he arranged an export permit and brought six entire trains of parts, and 180 types of aircraft across the Dutch-German border, among them 117 Fokker C.Is, D.VIIs, and D.VIIIs. This initial stock enabled him to set up shop quickly.{{Citation needed|date=May 2023}} After his company's relocation, many Fokker [[Fokker C.I|C.I]] and [[Fokker C.IV|C.IV]] military airplanes were delivered to Russia, Romania, and the still-clandestine German air force. Success came on the commercial market, too, with the development of the [[Fokker F.VII]], a high-winged aircraft capable of taking on various types of engines. Fokker continued to design and build military aircraft, delivering planes to the [[Royal Netherlands Air Force]]. Foreign military customers eventually included Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Hungary, and Italy. These countries bought substantial numbers of the Fokker C.V reconnaissance aircraft, which became Fokker's main success in the late 1920s and early 1930s. ===1920s and 1930s=== [[File:Southern cross.jpg|thumb|right|Fokker F.VII.]] In the 1920s, Fokker entered its glory years, becoming the world's largest aircraft manufacturer by the late 1920s.{{cn|date=June 2024}} Its greatest success was the 1925 [[Fokker F.VII|F.VIIa/3m trimotor]] passenger aircraft, which was used by 54 [[airline|airline companies]] worldwide and captured 40% of the American market in 1936. It shared the European market with the Junkers all-metal aircraft, but dominated the American market until the arrival of the [[Ford Trimotor]] which copied the aerodynamic features of the Fokker F.VII, and Junkers structural concepts. The F.VII was the aircraft used by [[Richard E. Byrd|Richard Byrd]] to make the first flight over the South Pole, and possibly the North Pole as well. In 1923, Anthony Fokker moved to the United States, where in 1927, he established an American branch of his company, the [[Atlantic Aircraft]] Corporation, which was renamed the Fokker Aircraft Corporation of America. In 1930, this company merged with [[General Motors Corporation]] and the company's name became General Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, which in turn merged with [[North American Aviation]] and was divested by GM in 1948. In 1931, discontented at being totally subordinate to GM management, Fokker resigned. A serious blow to Fokker's reputation came after the 1931 [[1931 Transcontinental & Western Air Fokker F-10 crash|crash of a Transcontinental & Western Air Fokker F-10]] in Kansas, when it became known that the crash was caused by a structural failure caused by wood rot. [[Notre Dame Fighting Irish football|Notre Dame]] legendary football coach [[Knute Rockne]] was among the fatalities, prompting extensive media coverage and technical investigation. As a result, all Fokkers were grounded in the US, along with many other types that had copied Fokker's wings. In 1934 [[Nevil Shute]] of [[Airspeed Ltd]] (England) negotiated with Fokker himself for a manufacturing licensing agreement. In January 1935 Airspeed signed an agreement for the [[Douglas DC-2]] and a number of Fokker types, with Fokker to be a consultant for seven years. Shute found him "genial, shrewd and helpful" but "already a sick man"; and he was difficult to deal with as "his domestic life was irregular". Airspeed considered making the [[Fokker D.XVII]] for Greece, as Greece wanted to buy from Britain for currency reasons, but the proposal did not "come off"; Shute recommended reading his novel ''[[Ruined City]]'' on Balkan methods of business. And after a year the drift to war meant that Dutchmen could not go to the Airspeed factory or to board meetings.<ref>{{cite book |last= Norway |first= Neville Shute |title= Slide Rule |year= 1954 |publisher= William Heinemann |location= London |pages= 219–229}}</ref> On December 23, 1939, Fokker died in [[New York City]] after a three-week illness. ===World War II=== At the outset of [[World War II]], the few [[Fokker G.I|G.Is]] and [[Fokker D.XXI|D.XXIs]] of the Dutch Air Force were able to score a respectable number{{how many?|date=December 2024}} of victories against the ''Luftwaffe'', but many were destroyed on the ground before they could be used. The Fokker factories were confiscated by the Germans and were used to build [[Bücker Flugzeugbau|Bücker]] [[Bücker Bü 181|Bü 181 Bestmann]] trainers and parts for the [[Junkers Ju 52]] transport. At the end of the war, the factories were completely stripped by the Germans and destroyed by Allied bombing. ===Post–World War II rebuilding=== [[File:Gloster Meteor F.8 EG-121 Belgian A.F. BLA 06.09.55 edited-2.jpg|thumb|right|Fokker-built Gloster Meteor of the [[Belgian Air Force]] in 1955]] Rebuilding after the war proved difficult. The market was flooded with cheap surplus planes from the war. The company cautiously started building [[Glider aircraft|gliders]] and autobuses and converting [[C-47 Skytrain|Dakota]] transport planes to civilian versions. A few [[Fokker F25|F25s]] were built. Nevertheless, the [[Fokker S-11|S-11]] trainer was a success, being purchased by several air forces. The [[Fokker S.14 Machtrainer|S-14 Machtrainer]] became one of the first [[jet trainers]], and although not an export success, it served for over a decade with the [[Royal Netherlands Air Force]]. A new factory was built next to [[Schiphol]] Airport near Amsterdam in 1951. A number of military planes were built there under license, among them the [[Gloster Meteor]] twin-jet fighter and [[Lockheed Corporation|Lockheed]]'s [[F-104 Starfighter]]. A second production and maintenance facility was established at [[Woensdrecht]]. [[File:Fokker F27 d-aeld Marcel van Leeuwen 2-2002.jpg|thumb|left|The Fokker F-27 turboprop airliner]] In 1958, the [[Fokker F27|F-27]] Friendship was introduced, Fokker's most successful postwar airliner. The Dutch government contributed 27 million [[Dutch gulden|guilders]] to its development. Powered by the [[Rolls-Royce Dart]], it became the world's best-selling [[turboprop]] airliner, reaching almost 800 units sold by 1986, including 206 under licence by [[Fairchild (aircraft manufacturer)|Fairchild]]. Also, a military version of the F-27, the F-27 Troopship, was built. In 1962, the F-27 was followed by the jet-powered [[Fokker F28|F-28]] Fellowship. Until production stopped in 1987, a total of 241 were built in various versions. Both an F-27 and later an F-28 served with the [[Dutch Royal Flight]], [[Prince Bernhard]] himself being a pilot.{{citation needed|date=March 2017}} In 1969, Fokker agreed to an alliance with [[Bremen (city)|Bremen]]-based [[Vereinigte Flugtechnische Werke]] under control of a transnational holding company. They collaborated on an unsuccessful regional [[jet airliner|jetliner]], the [[VFW-614]], of which only 19 were sold. This collaboration ended in early 1980. [[File:Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16 arrives RIAT Fairford 10thJuly2014 arp.jpg|thumb|A Fokker-assembled [[Royal Netherlands Air Force]] [[F-16]] arrives for the [[Royal International Air Tattoo]], [[England]] (2014).]] Fokker was one of the main partners in the [[General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon|F-16 Fighting Falcon]] consortium (European Participating Air Forces), which was responsible for the production of these fighters for the [[Belgian Air Force|Belgian]], [[Danish Air Force|Danish]], [[Royal Netherlands Air Force|Dutch]] and [[Royal Norwegian Air Force|Norwegian]] Air Forces. It consisted of companies and government agencies from these four countries and the United States. F-16s were assembled at Fokker and at [[SABCA]] in Belgium with parts from the five countries involved. ===Aerospace=== In 1967, Fokker started a modest space division building parts for European [[satellite]]s. A major advance came in 1968 when Fokker developed the first Dutch satellite (the [[Astronomical Netherlands Satellite]]) together with [[Philips]] and Dutch universities. This was followed by a second major satellite project, [[IRAS]], successfully launched in 1983. The [[European Space Agency]] in June 1974 named a consortium headed by [[Entwicklungsring Nord|ERNO]]-[[VFW-Fokker GmbH]] to build pressurized modules for [[Spacelab]]. Subsequently, Fokker contributed to many European satellite projects, as well as to the [[Ariane (rocket)|Ariane rocket]] in its various models. Together with a Russian contractor, they developed the huge parachute system for the [[Ariane 5]] rocket boosters which would allow the boosters to return to Earth safely and be reused. The space division became more and more independent, until just before Fokker's bankruptcy in 1996, it became a fully stand-alone corporation, known successively as Fokker Space and Systems, Fokker Space, and Dutch Space. On 1 January 2006, it was taken over by [[EADS]]-Space Transportation. ===Fokker 50, Fokker 100, and Fokker 70=== [[File:Tekening_van_het_ontwerp_van_de_McDonnell_Douglas_-_Fokker_MDF100_(2161_027084).jpg|thumb|right|McDonnell-Douglas Fokker MDF100 study]] [[File:Greenland Express Fokker F100 at Lviv International Airport (original).jpg|thumb|[[Fokker 100]], Was Fokker's last successful aircraft]] [[File:Austrian Airlines, OE-LFJ, Fokker F70 (22670693849).jpg|thumb|The [[Fokker 70]] was a shorted [[Fokker 100]] design for the short range market.]] After a [[Fokker_F.29|brief and unsuccessful collaboration effort]] with [[McDonnell Douglas]] in 1981, Fokker began an ambitious project to develop two new aircraft concurrently. The [[Fokker 50]] was to be a completely modernised version of the [[Fokker F27 Friendship|F-27]], and the [[Fokker 100]] a new airliner based on the [[Fokker F28 Fellowship|F-28]]. Development costs were allowed to spiral out of control, almost forcing Fokker out of business in 1987. The Dutch government bailed the company out with 212 million guilders, but demanded Fokker look for a "strategic partner", [[British Aerospace]] and [[DaimlerChrysler Aerospace|DASA]] being named most likely candidates. Initial sales of the [[Fokker 100]] were good, leading Fokker to begin development of the [[Fokker 70]], a smaller version of the [[Fokker 100|F100]], in 1991, but sales of the [[Fokker 70|F70]] were below expectations and the F100 had strong competition from [[Boeing]] and [[Airbus]] by then. The {{ill|Dutch government aircraft|nl|Nederlands regeringstoestel}} between 1996 and 2017 was a Fokker 70.<ref>[https://nos.nl/artikel/2517177-oud-regeringstoestel-kbx-een-fokker-70-weer-te-koop Oud-regeringstoestel KBX, een Fokker 70, weer te koop]</ref> In 1992, after a long and arduous negotiation process, Fokker signed an agreement with [[DASA]]. This did not solve Fokker's problems, though, mostly because DASA's parent company [[Daimler-Benz]] also had to deal with its own organisational problems. ===Bankruptcy=== On 22 January 1996, the board of directors of Daimler-Benz decided to focus on its core automobile business and cut ties with Fokker. The next day, an Amsterdam court extended temporary creditor protection. Discussions were initiated with [[Bombardier Aviation|Bombardier]] on 5 February 1996. After having reviewed and evaluated the opportunities and challenges Fokker represented at the time, Bombardier renounced its acquisition on 27 February.<ref>{{cite press release |url= http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Bombardier+Ends+Talks+With+Fokker.-a018029019 |title= Bombardier Ends Talks With Fokker |publisher= Bombardier |date= February 27, 1996 |access-date= June 29, 2016 |archive-date= April 3, 2019 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20190403203552/https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Bombardier+Ends+Talks+With+Fokker.-a018029019 |url-status= dead }}</ref> On 15 March, the Fokker company was declared bankrupt.<ref>{{cite news |url= https://www.flightglobal.com/fokker-bankrupt/10085.article |title= Fokker bankrupt |author= Kevin O'Toole |work= Flightglobal |date= 20 March 1996 |access-date= 18 February 2022 }}</ref> Differences in national culture could have played a role in the failed takeover of Fokker by [[Deutsche Aerospace]] (DASA).{{Specify|reason=What 'differences in national culture' are these?

Stork Fokker exists to sustain remarketing of the company's existing aircraft: it refurbishes and resells F 50s and F 100s, and has converted a few F 50s to transport aircraft. Special projects included the development of an F50 maritime patrol variant and an F100 executive jet. For this project, Stork received the 2005 "Aerospace Industry Award" in the Air Transport category from ''[[Flight International]]'' magazine. Other divisions of the company that were profitable continued as separate companies: Fokker Space (later Dutch Space) and [[Moog in the Netherlands|Fokker Control Systems]]. In November 2009, Stork Aerospace changed its name to Fokker Aerospace Group. As of 2011, the Fokker Aerospace Group changed its name to [[Fokker Technologies]]. The five individual business units within Fokker Technologies all carry the Fokker name: * Fokker Aerostructures * Fokker Landing Gear * Fokker Elmo * Fokker Techniek * Fokker Services The former Fokker aircraft facilities at Schiphol were redeveloped into the Fokker Logistics Park. One of the former Fokker tenants is Fokker Services. In 1996, a new company named Rekkof Aircraft ("Fokker" backwards) attempted to restart production of the Fokker F70 and F100, supported by suppliers and airlines. The company was later renamed to Netherlands Aircraft Company, and started to focus on developing a new aircraft named F130NG. This attempt was not successful either, and the project came to a standstill in 2010. In 2023, after years of no updates, the company was renamed [[Fokker Next Gen]]. Along with the new name reveal, the company announced that they are developing a new [[Hydrogen-powered aircraft|hydrogen-powered]] [[regional airliner]]. Visualisations have been provided, but the name of the aircraft is yet not publicly disclosed. In 2015, [[GKN]] considered acquiring Fokker Technologies to supply for the hybrid car market. The British automotive and aerospace supplier plans to buy the Netherlands-based Fokker for €706 million.<ref>{{Cite web|title=GKN to acquire Fokker Technologies for $771 million|url=https://www.aerospacemanufacturinganddesign.com/article/gkn-to-acquire-fokker-technologies-073115/|access-date=2021-07-28|website=Aerospace Manufacturing and Design|language=en}}</ref> In 2021, Fokker Services and Fokker Techniek were acquired by Panta Holdings, a Dutch investment fund.
