Evolution and Design Philosophy—Aerodynamic Design and Aeroelasticity

Abstract

A detailed account of the wing and flap design, tailplane considerations and the adoption of speed brakes. FOKKER has already demonstrated with the F.27 Friendship the economical advantages of an aerodynamically clean aircraft. The economics of the Fellowship is still more sensitive to drag because of the much higher cruising speed and the fact that it is jet propelled.
