This newly rebuilt Fairchild F-27 model, completed in 2016, boasts enhanced quality geometry, fresh textures, and additional features. Adhering to a near-scale design (within a couple of percent), it exhibits meticulous external detailing. The package includes fully-textured models with livery materials as per the profile. Animateable elements comprise ailerons, flaps, elevators, rudder, propellers, landing gear, and doors. Multiple format files accompany these models. Introduced in 1950 by Fokker, the Fairchild F-27 is a twin-engine turbo-prop commercial passenger aircraft. Its maiden flight took place in 1955. Fairchild Hiller Companies in the U.S., under Fokker's license, produced it using the F-27 design. The initial prototype experienced slight tail heaviness, which led to a fuselage stretch by three feet for better weight distribution and additional seating capacity. West Coast Airlines operated the first Fairchild F-27 in September 1958, with various operators utilizing these aircraft over time. They excelled as frontline airliners for small carriers. Retirement of these planes began in the 1980s; some continue service today. The F-27 paved the way for the development of Fairchild Hiller 227, a stretched version, and further design evolutions included Fokker F-50 and F-60s.
