Fokker G1

Specifications Fokker G1 blueprint

The Fokker G1 is a multi-role, twin-engine light aircraft, first created in 1927 by Anthony Fokker, the Dutch aeronautical engineer and designer. Designed for sports and utility use, the Fokker G1 is a relatively simple two-seater aircraft constructed from a combination of wood, steel tubing, and plywood. It has a gull-wing design that allows for a greater array of flight possibilities but has an unorthodox shape, with its wavy lines and its bright color scheme. Its dimensions are 3.5 meters for its wingspan, and 6.8 meters for its length. It has a sturdy tricycle configuration with a single tailfin and it is powered by 2 inline engines which give the G1 a maximum speed of 133 km/h and a range of 488 km. Thanks to its efficient design, the G1 can take off and land on very short runways under 400 meters long and it has a slow landing speed of 75 km/h, making it a great choice for pilots looking for a short take-off or landing. It is equipped with a wide range of instruments, including a blind flying panel, an artificial horizon and altimeter, and a radio and navigation system. Its airframe is very strong and lightweight, making it incredibly responsive to control, and with excellent handling characteristics, it provides a comfortable yet responsive control over maneuvers. The Fokker G1 is an iconic aircraft, both for its unique design and its ability to open up a huge range of flying possibilities in all-weather conditions.
