Fokker F.11
Fokker · Netherlands · first flew 1928 · transport aircraft
The Fokker F.11 was a Dutch single-engine high-wing transport monoplane of 1928, produced in small numbers for use on short European air routes. Like other Fokker designs of the period, it used a characteristic wooden high-mounted wing with a welded steel tube fuselage.
Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | High-mounted, straight |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | Wooden cantilever wing with mixed fuselage construction |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Late 1920s Fokker single-engine high-wing small transport
- Wooden cantilever wing with mixed fuselage construction
- Open or semi-enclosed pilot cockpit above main cabin
Very similar in layout to the F.14 — a high-wing braced monoplane with a single radial engine — but slightly shorter and with a smaller passenger capacity; the Fokker wooden wing with rounded tip is common to both types.
Specifications
- The Fokker F.11 has a length of 13.72 m (45 ft).
- It has a wingspan of 17.98 m (59 ft).

History
Built by Fokker in Amsterdam, the F.11 was one of several small Fokker monoplane transports produced in the late 1920s. It was intended for feeder and regional services where large tri-motors were uneconomic. A handful were built and used by small European operators.
Variants
Very small production run with no significant variants recorded.
Where you'll see it
Operated by minor European airlines and charter operators in the late 1920s and early 1930s; quickly superseded by more capable designs.
