Operational Context
Fokker 100 — twin-engine regional jet airliner
The Fokker 100 first flew in 1986 and entered service in 1988. It was designed as a stretched and updated development of the earlier F28, featuring more efficient turbofan engines and improved avionics. The aircraft adopted a low-wing configuration with rear-mounted engines and a T-tail.
Powered by two Rolls-Royce Tay turbofan engines producing approximately 13,850 pounds of thrust (62 kN) each, the Fokker 100 cruises at around 460 knots (850 km/h). Maximum takeoff weight is roughly 100,000 pounds (45,360 kg). Typical seating capacity ranges from 85 to 109 passengers.
The Fokker 100 achieved strong sales before Fokker’s bankruptcy in the mid-1990s ended production. Many aircraft remain in service, particularly in Australia and parts of Europe. The type is regarded as one of the most successful regional jets of its generation.
