Animateable components include ailerons, flaps, elevators, rudder, propellers, landing gear, and landing gear doors. Various formats are included with the model files. The Fairchild F-27 is a version of the Fokker F-27, a twin-engine turbo-prop commercial passenger aircraft designed by Fokker in 1950 and first flown in 1955. The Fairchild Hiller companies produced it under license. The prototype faced tail-heaviness, prompting a fuselage stretch that increased capacity. West Coast Airlines' F-27 was the first to enter operational service in September 1958. Many operators utilized these aircraft, which excelled as frontline airliners for small carriers. Retirement of F-27s started in the 1980s, but some remain in use today. The F-27 gave birth to the Fairchild Hiller 227, a stretched version, and eventually led to the Fokker F-50 and F-60 derivatives.
