fokker

The Fokker triplane was so agile that it could turn around almost on a dime and face whoever was chasing it.

I feel like the Embraer 175 and 195 and the little Fokker jets can compete for that title.

Imagine it would be extra fun if there were an inflatable Fokker Dr.

There are already a number of aircraft manufacturers playing in the next tier - Bombardier (Dash 8), Embraer (EMB 120), Fokker (F50) and others.

I wish them luck, but won't hold my breath until this Fokker flies.

As a Dutch citizen I like that Fokker might return.

Like, the Dutch airplane manufacturer Fokker went bankrupt and stopped manufacturing planes in 1996, but the brand and company are still very much alive, manufacturing parts and providing maintenance services to all their planes still in operation worldwide.

It would be a little jarring to be flying a Fokker Dr1 in from the confines of an F-16 cockpit (well unless you want to pretend you went back in time and suddenly your mach 2 jet fighter must obey the limitations of 1917 aviation).

My first reaction on seeing the fokker stats was 'well, yeah, it's heavily used in the Alps and Himalayas, of course it's had a lot of incidents' Ironically, the 727s numbers are probably skewed in the opposite way to the 747 - there were loads of passenger incidents with the 727, but it's been somewhat of a workhorse for freight in the developing world over the last 40 years.

“Fokker” is a Dutch example of this, refers to someone who was an expert in getting animals to breed—possibly some other culture has a variant like Fucker that's the same.

It's all about the en dashes and Fokker-Planck vs Fokker–Planck.

The Fokker-Planck equation is a partial differential equation which can be solved using a variety of non-Monte Carlo approaches.

The first 2D flying game like this that I played was Fokker, on my friend's Atari ST, back in 1992 or so.
